The minimum receive on-time for the default LPL implementation (ack) when
there are no transmitters nearby is around 5.6 ms.

When a transmitter is found, the receiver remains on long enough to detect a
packet - which is anywhere from 20 to 50 ms. I believe I have it set for 50
ms right now just so nobody has an issue with reliability.  If no valid
packet is detected, the radio goes back to sleep.  

If a valid packet is detected, the radio remains on for about 100 ms after
the last valid packet is transmitter or received.  Each time a packet is
transmitter or received, that 100 ms timer gets reset.  This allows you to
perform some kind of high speed data transaction that may take awhile, and
no reconfiguration of LPL is required to do so.

What's the minimum and maximum time of the receiver's listening period at
each duty cycle?
I understand that if there is no traffic at all the receiver will turn off
the radio immediately after 
CCA check and I'd like to know how long does that take, but also how long it
takes as well 
when there is traffic.
 
Thank you
