    Abstract: Example systems, methods, and devices for channel access in dense wireless networks are discussed. More specifically, methods may include transmitting one or more trigger frames from an access point to one or more communication stations, the one or more trigger frames comprising a plurality of components, the plurality of components indicating whether trigger frames within a beacon interval are scheduled in a periodic or aperiodic manner, and if periodic trigger frames are scheduled, then indicating a countdown to the next trigger frame, and if aperiodic trigger frames are scheduled, then indicating the time to the next trigger frame scheduled by the access point. Methods, apparatus, and systems described herein can be applied to 802.11ax or any other wireless standard.

    Abstract: Systems and techniques for random access to a wireless network are described herein. Components of a wireless station may obtain a back-off value. The components may also decode random access resource units from a frame transmitted to the wireless station from an access point of the wireless network. The components may decrement the back-off for each decoded random access frame. The wireless station may select this frame from a sequence of frames when the back-off reaches zero while decoding the random access resource units of this frame. The wireless station then selects the random access resource unit with a more favorable transmission metric than another random access resource unit of the frame and uses the selected random access resource unit to communicate with the access point.

    Abstract: Devices and techniques for dynamic patterned resource allocation in a wireless network are described herein. Components of a wireless station may obtain a set of dynamic patterns, where members of the set define a sequence of resource units for the wireless network. The components may receive a data unit from an access point of the wireless network, the data unit including a group designation for the wireless station. The components may select one of the set of dynamic patterns based on the received group designation and communicate on the wireless network using resource units specified by the selected dynamic pattern.
