A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for wireless communication are provided. The apparatus receives reference timing information, determines one or more timeslots for transmitting a beacon based on the reference timing information, and transmits the beacon during a timeslot of the one or more timeslots. The beacon is transmitted in one or more directions respectively corresponding to a number of subslots of the timeslot. In another aspect, the apparatus determines a timeslot for receiving at least one beacon respectively from at least one connection point based on the reference timing information, wakes during the timeslot, monitors for the at least one beacon in one or more directions respectively corresponding to a number of subslots of the timeslot, and receives the at least one beacon in the at least one timeslot in at least one direction of the one or more directions.
