Abstract: Methods and apparatus for multiple user uplink are provided. In one aspect, method for wireless communication includes receiving a message comprising a request for two or more stations to concurrently transmit an uplink transmission. The method further includes determining a status of a medium at a station based on a clear channel assessment (CCA) or a network allocation vector (NAV). The method further includes selectively transmitting the uplink transmission based on the indication of the status of the medium.

Abstract: Techniques for reducing delay in scheduling traffic transmission in an overlapping basic service set (OBSS) environment by modifying backoff mechanisms are disclosed. In some examples, a device (e.g., station (STA), access point (AP)) decodes at least a portion of a preamble of a packet to determine whether the packet is sent by a member of an OBSS (e.g., STA, AP from a different BSS). Backoff operations are typically deferred as a result of the decoding. Aspects of the present disclosure provide a method, apparatus, and system in which the backoff operations are resumed prior to expiration of the period reserved for an OBSS packet by the network allocation vector (NAV). That is, the device may not honor the NAV of the OBSS packet, and instead perform spatial reuse by transmitting another packet (or signal) on the same frequency channel during the NAV of the OBSS packet.

Abstract: An apparatus for wireless communication includes data generation logic configured to generate data to be transmitted to an access point and to determine that a size of the data exceeds a size of a first transmit opportunity (TX_OP). The apparatus includes data fragmentation logic configured to generate at least a first data fragment and a second data fragment based on the data, where a size of the first data fragment is selected based on the size of the first TX_OP. The apparatus further includes a wireless interface configured to transmit, during the first TX_OP, a first data packet to the access point, the first data packet including the first data fragments.

Abstract: In certain aspects, an apparatus for wireless communication comprises an interface configured to receive reports from wireless nodes, wherein each of the reports includes an indication of a battery life of a respective one of the wireless nodes. The apparatus also comprises a processing system configured to determine a schedule for communication based on the reported battery lives of the wireless nodes. The interface is further configured to output data for transmission to the wireless nodes based on the schedule or to output signals for transmission to the wireless nodes based on the schedule, each of the signals instructing a respective one of the wireless nodes to transmit data to the apparatus.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices are described for wireless communication. A transmitting device may transmit soliciting frames to a receiving device on a forward link. In response to the soliciting frames, the receiving device may transmit solicited frames in an immediate response back to the transmitting device on a reverse link. A solicited frame may fail to successfully decode at the transmitting device. The transmitting device in response may indicate an instantaneous value for one or more reverse link transmission parameters when sending a subsequent soliciting frame. The reverse link transmission parameters may be predetermined in a fixed mapping such that one or more values for the reverse link transmission parameters depend on values for the forward link transmission parameters. The receiving device may override the predetermined value and instead use the instantaneous value. An indicator of the instantaneous value may also be sent in a control field.
