Abstract
Methods, apparatuses, and computer-readable mediums for wireless communication are provided. In an aspect, a second device is configured to receive, from a first device, a reverse direction (RD) grant associated with first device. The RD grant allocates transmission opportunity (TXOP) resources to the second device from the first device. In addition, the second device is configured to send information to the first device indicating an amount of TXOP resources that the second device intends to use.
Claims30
A method of wireless communication by a second device, comprising:
- receiving a reverse direction (RD) grant associated with a first device, the RD grant allocating transmission opportunity (TXOP) resources to the second device from the first device;
- generating, in response to receiving the RD grant, a control response aggregated with at least one media access control protocol data unit (MPDU);
- and
- transmitting the control response to the first device.
A method of wireless communication by a second device, comprising:
- generating a reverse direction (RD) exchange request requesting a first device to initiate an RD exchange sequence;
- and
- transmitting the RD exchange request to the first device.
A method of wireless communication by a first device, comprising:
- generating a reverse direction (RD) grant associated with the first device, the RD grant allocating transmission opportunity (TXOP) resources to a second device from the first device;
- transmitting, to the second device, the RD grant associated with the first device;
- and
- receiving, in response to the RD grant, a control response aggregated with at least one media access control protocol data unit (MPDU);
- and
- determining whether the RD grant is accepted or declined based on the MPDU.
A method of wireless communication by a first device, comprising:
- receiving, from a second device, a message;
- and
- determining that the message includes a reverse direction (RD) requesting the first device to initiate an RD exchange sequence.
An apparatus for wireless communication, comprising:
- a memory;
- and
- at least one processor coupled with the memory and configured to:
- receive a reverse direction (RD) grant associated with a first device, the RD grant allocating transmission opportunity (TXOP) resources to the apparatus from the first device;
- generate, in response to receiving the RD grant, a control response aggregated with at least one media access control protocol data unit (MPDU);
- and
- transmit the control response to the first device.
