Indicating upcoming random access trigger frame via fast initial link setup discovery frame

An apparatus for wireless communication, comprising:

• a receiver configured to receive, from an access point, a discovery frame;
• a processor configured to decode an indication included in the discovery frame to determine that the access point will transmit, during a discovery interval, a trigger frame assigning at least one resource unit for random access transmissions;
• and
• a transmitter configured to transmit, in accordance with the assigned at least one resource unit for random access transmissions, a multi-user transmission to the access point.

A method for wireless communication, comprising:

• generating, at an apparatus, a discovery frame including an indication that the apparatus will transmit, during a discovery interval, a trigger frame assigning at least one resource unit for random access transmissions;
• transmitting the discovery frame to one or more wireless stations, the discovery frame including the indication;
• and
• receiving, in accordance with the at least one resource unit for random access transmissions, a multi-user transmission from at least one of the one or more wireless stations.
