Trigger-based wireless transmission adjusted for propagation delay

A wireless communication device, comprising:

• at least one memory;
• and
• at least one processor communicatively coupled with the at least one memory, the at least one processor operable to cause the wireless communication device to:
• transmit, to a wireless station, an indication associated with a propagation delay between the wireless communication device and the wireless station;
• transmit, to the wireless station, a trigger frame configured to trigger a transmission of a communication by the wireless station;
• and
• receive, from the wireless station in response to the trigger frame, the communication at a time corresponding to a target start time of receipt of the communication by the wireless communication device adjusted in accordance with the propagation delay, the target start time of receipt of the communication being later than a short interframe space (SIF S) duration after an end time of transmission of the trigger frame by the wireless communication device.

A method for wireless communication performable at a wireless station, comprising:

• receiving, from a wireless access point, an indication associated with a propagation delay between the wireless access point and the wireless station;
• receiving, from the wireless access point, a trigger frame configured to trigger a transmission of a communication by the wireless station;
• and
• transmitting, to the wireless access point in response to the trigger frame, the communication at a time corresponding to a target start time of receipt of the communication by the wireless access point adjusted in accordance with the indication of the propagation delay, the target start time of receipt of the communication being later than a short interframe space (SIFS) duration after an end time of transmission of the trigger frame by the wireless access point.
