The first WCD and the second WCD may communicate during a COT 705. In some aspects, the first WCD may transmit one or more communications to the second WCD and/or the second WCD may transmit one or more communications to the first WCD during the COT 705. In some aspects, a duration may be determined based at least in part on an amount of time of communication (transmissions and/or receptions) without a gap. In some aspects, the duration may be determined based at least in part on an amount of time of communication without a gap that satisfies a gap duration threshold. For example, a duration of the COT 705 may be determined based at least in part on an interval that includes multiple transmissions and/or receptions with one or more gaps 720 that satisfy a threshold (e.g., a gap duration threshold). In some aspects, the COT may include uplink transmissions and downlink transmissions. In other words, the COT may include transmissions from the first WCD to the second WCD and transmissions from the second WCD to the first WCD.
