4. The device of claim 1, wherein the memory and the processing circuitry are further configured to identify a second data frame received in the data channel from the time sensitive device.
5. The device of claim 1, wherein the memory and the processing circuitry are further configured to identify a second control frame received in the control channel from the time sensitive device.
6. The device of claim 1, wherein to establish the control channel comprises to perform a contention-based access method, and wherein the first control frame comprises one of a beacon frame or a short beacon frame.

7. The device of claim 1, wherein the transmission time slots comprise a control channel time slot and a data transmission time slot, wherein the control channel time slot is associated with the control channel, and wherein the data transmission time slot is associated with the data channel.
8. The device of claim 1, wherein the first control frame is a beacon, wherein the memory and processing circuitry are further configured to cause to send a short beacon comprising an updated schedule.
9. The device of claim 1, wherein the memory and processing circuitry are further configured to cause to send a wake-up signal in the control channel, the wake-up signal comprising a group identifier, and the wake-up signal indicating a time during which one or more devices in the control channel are to be in a receive mode.
10. The device of claim 1, wherein the schedule further indicates a change to a previous schedule, and wherein the first control frame further comprises a time when the schedule becomes applicable.
11. The device of claim 1, wherein the schedule further indicates a maximum number of the transmission time slots during which the time sensitive device is allowed to ignore transmissions.
12. The device of claim 1, further comprising a transceiver configured to transmit and receive wireless signals.
13. The device of claim 12, further comprising one or more antennas coupled to the transceiver.
14. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing computer-executable instructions which when executed by one or more processors result in performing operations comprising:
identifying, at a device in a control channel in a first frequency band, a first control frame received from an access point, the first control frame comprising a schedule, the schedule indicating transmission time slots in at least a data channel of one or more channels comnrisine
