Abstract: For example, a current consumption adjuster may be configured to adjust a current consumption from a power supply of an integrated circuit. For example, the current consumption adjuster may include a controllable load circuitry to controllably apply one or more loads to the power supply of the integrated circuit. For example, the current consumption adjuster may include a controller configured to identify a current consumption event including a transition of a current consumption of the integrated circuit from the power supply. For example, the controller may be configured to control activation of the controllable load circuitry to apply an event-based load to the power supply, for example, based on the current consumption event.

Abstract: For example, a wireless communication device may be configured to transmit a reservation frame to reserve a wireless communication medium for a Transmit Opportunity (TxOP). For example, the TxOP may be configured to cover a first reserved duration and a second reserved duration. For example, the first reserved duration may be configured for at least one self-transmission of the STA, and the second reserved duration may be configured for communication of at least one non-self-transmission by the STA. For example, the wireless communication device may be configured to transmit the at least one self-transmission during the first duration. For example, the self-transmission may be configured for transmission from a transmitter of the STA to a receiver of the STA.
