Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 18:
19. A method performed by a wireless device, the method comprising:
allocating a plurality of resources for an uplink trigger-based transmission, including allocating one or more resources for random-access communications;
generating 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;
determining 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;
generating a padding field based on the padding length;
generating 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
transmitting a Physical layer Protocol Data Unit (PPDU), which includes the trigger frame,
wherein the padding field is transmitted after the plurality of information fields.
