PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide methods and apparatuses for distributed transmissions among a plurality of access terminals.SOLUTION: An access point 102 sends an initial indicator count for each access terminal 104a, 104b to follow a corresponding number of indicators when transmitting during a transmission opportunity. An access terminal receives its corresponding initial indicator count, and sends a transmission after detecting a number of indicators equal to the assigned initial indicator count. A continuation indicator count is also sent to each access terminal, where the continuation indicator count specifies a number of indicators each access terminal is to wait after sending a preceding transmission and before sending a subsequent transmission. |
