    Abstract: A method for reducing sounding overhead by shortening TB-PPDU duration for trigger-based implicit feedback and associated apparatus are provided, where a non-AP STA device is wirelessly linking to an AP device, and a number of sounding dimension of the non-AP STA device is less than a maximum number of spatial streams of the AP device. The method may include: transmitting a first frame regarding TB-sounding as well as a trigger frame, with at least one field of at least one frame among the first frame and the trigger frame being set to shorten the TB-PPDU duration; and receiving a sounding feedback having the TB-PPDU duration to be the trigger-based implicit feedback, for use of generating a beamforming steering matrix for transmission beamforming, wherein the at least one field is set to shorten a time for receiving a useless part within the sounding feedback, for reducing the sounding overhead.
