Change the first sentence of the subclause to "The QTP (quiet time period) is an optional feature that defines a period that is intended by a Requester HE STA and its AP to be used primarily for peer-to-peer operation. The QTP is intended to inform other HE STAs of the period and the intended operation, and to request that those other HE STAs do not transmit during the QTP unless they are participating in the operation defined by the Quiet Time Period Setup element." Delete the second and thrd sentences in this paragraph, and change the fourth sentence to "Any HE STA may ignore the request."
