Field: Digital communication (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 0:
1. A wireless device comprising:
a processing device; and
a memory unit storing instructions that when executed by the processing device cause the wireless device to:
allocate a plurality of resources for an uplink trigger-based transmission, including allocating one or more resources for random-access communications,
generate a plurality of information fields indicating the allocations of the plurality of resources, including one or more random-access information fields indicating the one or more allocations of resources for the random-access communications,
determine a padding length according to a minimum amount of time required for processing a trigger frame by stations associated with the wireless device that may use a resource allocated by a resource allocation information field of the one or more resource allocation information fields to participate in the uplink trigger-based transmission, wherein the padding length ensures that at least the minimum amount of time is available to the stations to generate a response to the trigger frame,
generate a padding field based on the padding length,
generate the trigger frame, including the plurality of information fields and the padding field, wherein the trigger frame is to initiate the uplink trigger-based transmission, and
transmit a Physical layer Protocol Data Unit (PPDU), which includes the trigger frame,
wherein the padding field is transmitted after the plurality of information fields.
