SCHEDULING TRIGGER FRAMES IN A HIGH EFFICIENCY WIRELESS LOCAL-AREA NETWORK

摘要

Apparatuses, computer readable media, and methods for scheduling trigger frames in a high-efficiency wireless (HEW) local-area network are disclosed. An apparatus of a HEW master station is disclosed. The HEW master station includes transceiver circuitry and processing circuitry configured to transmit a random access trigger frame (TF-R) to a plurality of HEW stations, and receive resource requests from one or more of the plurality of HEW stations in response to the TF-R. The transceiver circuitry and processing circuitry is further configured to transmit an indication when a trigger frame is to be transmitted. The trigger frame is to comprise resource allocations in response to the resource requests. An apparatus of a HEW station may enter a power save mode until a time when a trigger frame is scheduled that includes resource allocations in response to resource requests transmitted to a master station from the HEW station.

1. An apparatus of a high-efficiency wireless local-area network (HEW) master station, the apparatus comprising transceiver circuitry and processing circuitry configured to:
transmit a random access trigger frame (TF-R) to a plurality of HEW stations; receive resource requests from one or more of the plurality of HEW stations in response to the TF-R; and transmit an indication of when a trigger frame is to be transmitted, wherein the trigger frame is to comprise resource allocations in response to the resource requests, the resource allocations comprising a sub-channel and a duration of a transmission opportunity.
