APPARATUS AND METHODS FOR CHANNEL ACCESS IN WLAN

摘要

A method implemented by an Access Point (AP) in a Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) to facilitate an unassociated station (STA) to participate in an uplink multi-user simultaneous transmission. The method includes receiving a request frame from the unassociated STA and generating a response frame, where the response frame includes timing information regarding a future transmission, by the AP, of a trigger frame. The trigger frame includes scheduling information for scheduling an uplink multi-user simultaneous transmission, where at least one transmission resource unit allocated for the uplink multi-user simultaneous transmission allows random access. The method further includes transmitting the response frame to the unassociated STA through a wireless medium.

1. A method implemented by an Access Point (AP) in a Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) to facilitate an unassociated station (STA) to participate in an uplink multi-user simultaneous transmission, the method comprising:
receiving a request frame from the unassociated STA; generating a response frame, wherein the response frame includes timing information regarding a future transmission, by the AP, of a trigger frame, wherein the trigger frame includes scheduling information for scheduling an uplink multi-user simultaneous transmission, wherein at least one transmission resource unit allocated for the uplink multi-user simultaneous transmission allows random access; and transmitting the response frame to the unassociated STA through a wireless medium.
