摘要： Embodiments of an access point (AP), station (STA) and method of communication are generally described herein. An AP may be configurable to operate as a master AP of a multi-AP group comprising the master AP and one or more satellite APs. The master AP may select, from the multi-AP group, a set of APs that is to communicate with a STA in accordance with joint processing. The master AP may allocate one or more spatial streams to each of the APs of the set of APs for a joint transmission of a null data packet (NDP) to the STA for channel sounding. The master AP may transmit an NDP announcement (NDPA) that indicates that the APs of the set of APs are to perform the joint transmission of the NDP.

An apparatus of a wireless device can include processing circuitry configured to decode a high efficiency (HE) physical-layer convergence procedure (PLCP) protocol data unit (PPDU) comprising a high-throughput (HT) control field in a media access control (MAC) portion of the HE PPDU. The processing circuitry is further configured to determine whether the HT control field of the HE PPDU contains uplink (UL) multi-user (MU) response scheduling information soliciting a response. in response to determining the HT control field contains the UL MU response scheduling information, the processing circuitry can encode, for transmission, the response PPDU to include a spatial reuse (SR) field set to a default entry.

摘要： Methods and devices are described in which the MU-RTS (multi-user request-to-send) trigger frame is compressed by having a single field trigger a group of users instead of an individual user. This technique also enables the indication of a set of transmission format parameters to the same group of users. In one embodiment, one Per-User Info field of the MU-RTS frame is used to indicate that the CTS (clear-to-send) response is to be transmitted by multiple stations instead of a having a Per-User Info field for each station.

An apparatus of a station comprising memory and processing circuitry couple to the memory is disclosed. The processing circuitry may be configured to: decode a frame comprising one or more resource block identification (RBIDs), wherein each RBID indicates a resource allocation to transmit one bit of information to a access point. Additionally, the processing circuitry may be configured to encode a response to the availability trigger frame in accordance with the resource allocation indicated by the one or more RBIDs, in response to decoding an availability trigger frame from the access point. The processing circuitry may be configured to configure the station to transmit the response to the access point in accordance with orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA).
