Flow control with acknowledgment feedback

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium that stores instructions for execution by one or more processors, the instructions to configure the one or more processors to cause a wireless device to:

• determine based on buffer capacity parameters of a station and a receive buffer state of the station at least one of a size, a modulation and coding scheme (MCS), a bandwidth of a subchannel, or a number of spatial streams (NSS) for a frame;
• encode the frame based on the size, the MCS, the bandwidth of the subchannel, and the NSS;
• and
• configure the wireless device to transmit the frame in accordance with the size, the MCS, the bandwidth of the subchannel, the NSS, and one or both of orthogonal frequency division multiple-access (OFDMA) or multi-user multiple-input multiple-output (MU-MIMO).

A method performed by a wireless device, the method comprising:

• determining based on buffer capacity parameters of a station and a receive buffer state of the station at least one of a size, a modulation and coding scheme (MCS), a bandwidth of a subchannel, or a number of spatial streams (NSS) for a frame;
• encoding the frame based on the size, the MCS, the bandwidth of the subchannel, and the NSS;
• and
• configuring the wireless device to transmit the frame in accordance with the size, the MCS, the bandwidth of the subchannel, the NSS, and one or both of orthogonal frequency division multiple-access (OFDMA) or multi-user multiple-input multiple-output (MU-MIMO).

An apparatus of a first wireless device comprising:

• memory;
• and processing circuitry coupled to the memory, the processing circuity configured to:
• decode a frame from a second wireless device;
• determine a state of the receive buffer of the first wireless device;
• and
• encode a block acknowledgment (BA) of the frame, wherein the BA comprises an indication of the state of the receive buffer.
