The present disclosure describes a method and an apparatus for techniques used for back-to-back uplink transmissions from multiple stations in wireless local area networks (WLANs). An example method includes transmitting, from the AP, a control frame to the plurality of STAs, wherein the control frame contains configuration information related to a plurality of consecutive transmission slots; and receiving, at the AP, back-to-back uplink (UL) response frames from the plurality of STAs in the plurality of consecutive transmission slots. An additional example method includes receiving, at the STA, a control frame from the AP, wherein the control frame contains configuration information related to a plurality of consecutive transmission slots; and transmitting, from the STA, uplink (UL) response frames in one or more transmission slots of the plurality of consecutive transmission slots based at least on the configuration information in the control frame.
Abstract:
A station configured to operate in a wireless network includes low-power protocol circuitry configured to operate according to a low-power protocol coupled to primary protocol circuitry configured to operate according to a first protocol. The low-power protocol circuitry includes a wake-up receiver configured to transition into a receive mode according to a medium access schedule.

Abstract:
This disclosure provides methods, components, devices and systems for service period based coordinated spatial reuse. Some aspects relate to long term signaling to reduce the amount of signaling while achieving the gain associated with coordinated spatial reuse as compared to distributed spatial reuse. A first wireless device associated with a first basic service set (BSS) may transmit a beacon indicating a set of service periods designated for spatial reuse and an interference threshold. A second wireless device associated with a second BSS may receive the beacon and may communicate with one or more other wireless devices associated with the second BSS during the set of service periods designated for spatial reuse in accordance with the indicated interference threshold. Accordingly, the wireless devices in the second BSS may communicate at a power level that causes an acceptable level of interference at the first BSS.
