Trigger frame schedule indication

A wireless device for a wireless network, the wireless device comprising:

• one or more transmitters;
• one or more receivers;
• and
• processing circuitry associated with the one or more transmitters and the one or more receiver, the processing circuitry configured to cause the wireless device to:
• receive, from a wireless access point, information that indicates transmission times of one or more upcoming trigger frames, TFs;
• perform one or more actions based on the information that indicates the transmission times of the one or more upcoming TFs;
• wherein the information that indicates the transmission times of the one or more upcoming TFs further indicates whether a TF among the at least one of the one or more upcoming TFs will enable the wireless device to satisfy the latency requirement and comprises additional information about the one or more upcoming TFs, the additional information comprises information that indicates whether a traffic category polled by the TF matches that of data to be transmitted, and
• performing the one or more actions comprises the processing circuitry configured to cause the wireless device to:
• receive the TF indicating whether the one or more upcoming TFs will enable the wireless device to satisfy the latency requirement and the data to be transmitted matches the traffic category;
• transmit the data responsive to reception of the TF.

A non-transitory computer readable medium storing instructions executable by processing circuitry of a wireless device whereby the wireless device is operable to:

• receive, from a wireless access point, information that indicates transmission times of one or more upcoming trigger frames, TFs;
• perform one or more actions based on the information that indicates the transmission times of the one or more upcoming TFs;
• wherein the information that indicates the transmission times of the one or more upcoming TFs further indicates whether a TF among the at least one of the one or more upcoming TFs will enable the wireless device to satisfy the latency requirement and comprises additional information about the one or more upcoming TFs, the additional information comprises information that indicates whether a traffic category polled by the TF matches that of data to be transmitted, and
• performing the one or more actions comprises the wireless device being operable to:
• receive the TF indicating whether the one or more upcoming TFs will enable the wireless device to satisfy the latency requirement and the data to be transmitted matches the traffic category;
• transmit the data responsive to reception of the TF.
