Systems, methods and devices for dynamically setting response indication deferral in wireless networks

An apparatus for wireless communication, the apparatus comprising:

• a receiver configured to receive a first PPDU associated with a basic service set and receive a second PPDU;
• and
• a processor configured to update a response indication deferral counter to a value indicated by the second PPDU on the condition that the second PPDU is associated with the basic service set of the first PPDU, wherein the value of the response indication deferral counter indicates a deferral time during which the apparatus does not transmit packets of data in order to avoid data collisions with one or more wireless devices associated within the basic service set or associated with a different basic service set.

A non-transitory, computer readable medium comprising code that when executed cause a processor to perform a method of wireless communication by a wireless device, the method comprising:

• receiving a first PPDU associated with a basic service set,
• receiving a second PPDU, and
• updating a value of a response indication deferral counter to a value indicated by the second PPDU on the condition that the second PPDU is associated with the basic service set of the first PPDU, wherein the value of the response indication deferral counter indicates a deferral time during which the wireless device receiving the second PPDU does not transmit packets of data in order to avoid data collisions with one or more other wireless devices associated within the basic service set or associated with a different basic service set.
