Abstract
Aspects of the present disclosure provide various mechanisms for protection of MU transmissions, such as UL MU MIMO and UL OFDMA. The mechanisms may allow for various NAV setting options for UL MU MIMO or UL OFDMA. Aspects of the present invention relate to a processing system configured to generate a first frame configured to trigger multiple transmissions from multiple devices, wherein the first frame has a duration field set to a value corresponding to a duration that covers at least the multiple transmissions, and an interface configured to output the frame for transmission
Claims31
1-9. (canceled)
An apparatus for wireless communications, comprising:
- a processing system configured to generate a first frame configured to trigger a first wireless device to transmit a second frame configured to trigger multiple transmissions from multiple second wireless devices including the apparatus, wherein the first frame has a duration field set to a value corresponding to a duration that covers at least the transmission of the second frame;
- and
- an interface configured to output the first frame for transmission.
18-26. (canceled)
A method for wireless communications by an apparatus, comprising:
- generating a first frame configured to trigger a first wireless device to transmit a second frame configured to trigger multiple transmissions from multiple second wireless devices including the apparatus, wherein the first frame has a duration field set to a value corresponding to a duration that covers at least the transmission of the second frame;
- and
- outputting the first frame for transmission.
35-43. (canceled)
An apparatus for wireless communications, comprising:
- means for generating a first frame configured to trigger a first wireless device to transmit a second frame configured to trigger multiple transmissions from multiple second wireless devices including the apparatus, wherein the first frame has a duration field set to a value corresponding to a duration that covers at least the transmission of the second frame;
- and
- means for outputting the first frame for transmission.
(canceled)
A wireless station, comprising:
- a processing system configured to generate a first frame configured to trigger a first wireless device to transmit a second frame configured to trigger multiple transmissions from multiple second wireless devices including the wireless station, wherein the first frame has a duration field set to a value corresponding to a duration that covers at least the transmission of the second frame;
- and
- a transmitter configured to transmit the first frame.
(canceled)
A non-transitory computer readable medium having instructions for wireless communications by an apparatus stored thereon for:
- generating a first frame configured to trigger a first wireless device to transmit a second frame configured to trigger multiple transmissions from multiple second wireless devices including the apparatus, wherein the first frame has a duration field set to a value corresponding to a duration that covers at least the transmission of the second frame;
- and
- outputting the first frame for transmission.
