Abstract
This disclosure describes systems, methods, and devices related to enhanced ICF exchange. A device may cause to send an Initial Control Frame Trigger frame (ICF TF) to one or more transmit opportunity (TXOP) responders. The device may identify a first response from at least one of the one or more TXOP responders, wherein the first response uses a non-high throughput (HT) duplicate physical layer (PHY) convergence protocol data unit (PPDU) format. The device may identify a second response from the at least one of the one or more TXOP responders.
Claims20
A device, the device comprising processing circuitry coupled to storage, the processing circuitry configured to:
- cause to send an Initial Control Frame Trigger frame (ICF TF) to one or more transmit opportunity (TXOP) responders;
- identify a first response from at least one of the one or more TXOP responders, wherein the first response uses a non-high throughput (HT) duplicate physical layer (PHY) convergence protocol data unit (PPDU) format;
- and
- identify a second response from the at least one of the one or more TXOP responders.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing computer-executable instructions which when executed by one or more processors result in performing operations comprising:
- causing to send an Initial Control Frame Trigger frame (ICF TF) to one or more transmit opportunity (TXOP) responders;
- identifying a first response from at least one of the one or more TXOP responders, wherein the first response uses a non-high throughput (HT) duplicate physical layer (PHY) convergence protocol data unit (PPDU) format;
- and
- identifying a second response from the at least one of the one or more TXOP responders.
A method comprising:
- causing to send an Initial Control Frame Trigger frame (ICF TF) to one or more transmit opportunity (TXOP) responders;
- identifying a first response from at least one of the one or more TXOP responders, wherein the first response uses a non-high throughput (HT) duplicate physical layer (PHY) convergence protocol data unit (PPDU) format;
- and
- identifying a second response from the at least one of the one or more TXOP responders.
