Claim 0:
1. An integrated circuit comprising,
at least one output which, in operation, outputs a signal, and
circuitry which is coupled to the at least one output, and which, in operation controls:
generating a trigger frame that solicits a station for a random access transmission, the trigger frame containing a user info field that includes an association identifier (AID) subfield, a Resource Unit (RU) allocation subfield, and a number of contiguous Random Access RUs (RA-RU) subfield;
setting one of a plurality of numbers to the AID subfield,
wherein “0” of the plurality of numbers indicates that no constraint of a functional capability of the station is imposed for the random access transmission, and
wherein a first non-zero number of the plurality of numbers indicates that a constraint of the functional capability of the station is imposed for the random access transmission; and
transmitting the trigger frame.
