Apparatus, system and method of configuring an uplink transmission in a trigger-based multi-user uplink transmission

A product comprising one or more tangible computer-readable non-transitory storage media comprising computer-executable instructions operable to, when executed by at least one processor, enable the at least one processor to cause a wireless communication device to:

• determine one or more transmit (Tx) configuration parameters for a wireless communication station (STA) based on a frame-related value corresponding to a frame to be communicated in an Uplink (UL) transmission from the STA as part of a Trigger-Based (TB) Multi-User (MU) UL transmission to be communicated from a plurality of STAs to the wireless communication device, wherein the frame-related value is based on at least one of a frame type of the frame or a length of the frame, wherein the instructions, when executed, cause the wireless communication device to, based on a determination that the frame comprises a control frame or a data frame, use a first frame-related value or a second frame-related value, respectively, to select the one or more Tx configuration parameters for the STA, wherein the second frame-related value is different from the first frame-related value;
• and
• transmit a trigger frame to trigger the TB MU UL transmission, the trigger frame comprising the one or more Tx configuration parameters to configure the UL transmission from the STA.

An apparatus of a wireless communication device, the apparatus comprising:

• means for determining one or more transmit (Tx) configuration parameters for a wireless communication station (STA) based on a frame-related value corresponding to a frame to be communicated in an Uplink (UL) transmission from the STA as part of a Trigger-Based (TB) Multi-User (MU) UL transmission to be communicated from a plurality of STAs to the wireless communication device, wherein the frame-related value is based on at least one of a frame type of the frame or a length of the frame, wherein the means for determining the one or more Tx configuration parameters for the STA comprises means for, based on a determination that the frame comprises a control frame or a data frame, using a first frame-related value or a second frame-related value, respectively, to select the one or more Tx configuration parameters for the STA, wherein the second frame-related value is different from the first frame-related value;
• and
• means for causing the wireless communication device to transmit a trigger frame to trigger the TB MU UL transmission, the trigger frame comprising the one or more Tx configuration parameters to configure the UL transmission from the STA.
