Claim 0:
1. A method for wireless communication by a wireless communication device comprising:
receiving a trigger frame soliciting a physical layer protocol data unit (PPDU), the trigger frame including a medium access control (MAC) header, a common information field that immediately follows the MAC header, and a special user information field associated with the common information field, the common information field and the special user information field collectively including a plurality of subfields carrying configuration information indicating a configuration for the solicited PPDU, the common information field including a first plurality of spatial reuse subfields indicating a first set of spatial reuse values and one or more bits signaling that the trigger frame includes the special user information field, the special user information field including a second plurality of spatial reuse subfields indicating a second set of spatial reuse values and an association identifier (AID) value not assigned to any wireless stations (STAs) associated with a basic service set (BSS) in common with the wireless communication device; and
transmitting the PPDU, responsive to the trigger frame, wherein the PPDU comprises one or more spatial reuse values of the second set of spatial reuse values in accordance with a bandwidth associated with the PPDU.
