Systems for communicating with unassociated stations

A wireless communication apparatus of a first wireless communication device, comprising:

• a processor configured to:
• generate a first frame that includes at least a first aggregated media access control protocol data unit (A-MPDU), wherein the first A-MPDU includes one or more media access control protocol data units (MPDUs),
• set a first recipient address (RA) field to a first value in a first MPDU of the one or more MPDUs in the first A-MPDU, the first value being a first MAC address associated with a second wireless communication device, and
• set a first RA subfield of a first field in the first MPDU to a second value, the second value being the same as the first value, the second value being the first MAC address associated with the second wireless communication device;
• and
• a transmitter coupled with the processor, the transmitter configured to output the first frame for transmission to at least the second wireless communication device.

A method for wireless communication, comprising:

• generating a first frame, at a first wireless communication device, that includes at least a first aggregated media access control protocol data unit (A-MPDU), wherein the first A-MPDU includes one or more media access control protocol data units (MPDUs);
• setting a first recipient address (RA) field to a first value in a first MPDU of the one or more MPDUs in the first A-MPDU, the first value being a MAC address associated with a second wireless communication device;
• setting a triggered response scheduling (TRS) control field in the first MPDU to allocate resources and provide response information to the second wireless communication device;
• and
• outputting the first frame for transmission to at least the second wireless communication device.
