Abstract: A first communication device receives an aggregate medium access control data unit (MAC) protocol data unit (A-MPDU) that aggregates multiple MAC protocol data units from a second communication device. The first communication device generates an acknowledgment data unit that includes a length indication that indicates a length of an acknowledgement field and the acknowledgment field of the indicated length. The length of the acknowledgement field is selected from a subset of predetermined lengths, among a set predetermined lengths, that includes multiple predetermined lengths that do not exceed a maximum number of MAC protocol data units that can be included in the A-MPDU. The maximum number of MAC protocol data units is limited by a buffer size negotiated in an acknowledgement setup procedure previously conducted between the first communication device and the second communication device. The first communication device transmits the acknowledgment data unit to the second communication device.

Abstract: In a method for communicating in a wireless communication network a trigger frame is generated to trigger simultaneous uplink transmissions by multiple communication devices. The trigger frame includes a padding portion having a length determined based on respective time duration requirements of the multiple communication devices, the respective time duration requirements for preparing uplink transmission by the corresponding second communication devices. The trigger frame is transmitted to the multiple communication devices. The simultaneous uplink transmissions, triggered by the trigger frame, are received from the multiple communication devices.

Abstract: An access point generates and transmits, to first client stations and a second client station, a downlink multi-user (MU) physical layer (PHY) data unit having respective media access control (MAC) data units for i) the first client stations and ii) the second client station. The downlink MU PHY data unit includes an indication that the first client stations are to acknowledge the downlink MU PHY data unit in an uplink MU PHY data unit, and indicates that the second client station is to acknowledge the downlink MU PHY data unit in another uplink PHY data unit separate from the uplink MU PHY data unit. The access point receives, from the multiple first client stations, the uplink MU PHY data unit, and polls the second client station to prompt the second client station to acknowledge, in another uplink PHY data unit, that the second client station received the downlink MU PHY data unit.

Abstract: A client station receives from an access point (AP) a downlink packet that includes a trigger frame that is configured to prompt the client station to transmit an uplink packet to the AP. The trigger frame includes an indication of whether the client station is required to perform a channel sensing procedure to determine if one or more subchannels are not idle prior to transmitting the uplink packet. In response to the trigger frame indicating that the client station is required to perform the channel sensing procedure: the client station does not transmit the uplink packet in response to determining that the one or more subchannels are not idle. In response to the trigger frame indicating that the client station is not required to perform the channel sensing procedure, the client station transmits the uplink packet without measuring the one or more energy levels in the one or more subchannels.

Abstract: A first communication device receives, from a second communication device, a trigger frame. The first communication device generates a single-user (SU) physical layer (PHY) protocol data unit that includes a PHY protocol payload, wherein the PHY protocol payload include information other than information that acknowledges a previous transmission from the second communication device. In response to the trigger frame, the first communication device transmits the SU PHY protocol data unit to the second communication device, such that the SU PHY protocol data unit is transmitted prior to the first communication device transmitting any other PHY protocol data unit after receiving the trigger frame.

Abstract: A first communication device determines whether the first communication device is to use a first channel access mode or a second channel access mode for accessing a communication channel when the first communication device is triggered for uplink transmission by a second communication device. The first communication device receives a trigger frame from the second communication device. The first communication device transmits, to the second communication device, a data unit triggered by the trigger frame, including using the determined one of the first channel access mode or the second channel access mode to gain access to the communication channel.

Abstract: A first signal field to be included in a preamble of a physical layer (PHY) data unit is generated. The first signal field includes formatting information for a second signal field to be included in the PHY data unit. The formatting information includes an indication of a number of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbols in the second signal field. The second signal field is generated according to the formatting information in the first signal field. The second signal field includes formatting information for a data portion of the PHY data unit. The data portion is generated according to the formatting information in the second signal field. The preamble is generated to include at least the first signal field and the second signal field, The PHY data unit is generated to include the preamble and the data portion.

Abstract: A first communication device receives, from a second communication device, a trigger frame. The first communication device generates a single-user (SU) physical layer (PHY) protocol data unit that includes a PHY protocol payload, wherein the PHY protocol payload include information other than information that acknowledges a previous transmission from the second communication device. In response to the trigger frame, the first communication device transmits the SU PHY protocol data unit to the second communication device, such that the SU PHY protocol data unit is transmitted prior to the first communication device transmitting any other PHY protocol data unit after receiving the trigger frame.
