Abstract:
Apparatuses, computer readable media, and methods for scheduling trigger frames in a high-efficiency wireless (HEW) local-area network are disclosed. An apparatus of a HEW master station is disclosed. The HEW master station includes transceiver circuitry and processing circuitry configured to transmit a random access trigger frame (TF-R) to a plurality of HEW stations, and receive resource requests from one or more of the plurality of HEW stations in response to the TF-R. The transceiver circuitry and processing circuitry is further configured to transmit an indication when a trigger frame is to be transmitted. The trigger frame is to comprise resource allocations in response to the resource requests. An apparatus of a HEW station may enter a power save mode until a time when a trigger frame is scheduled that includes resource allocations in response to resource requests transmitted to a master station from the HEW station.

Claim (Index 2):
An apparatus of a high-efficiency (HE) station (STA) comprising: memory; and processing circuitry coupled to the memory, the processing circuitry configured to:\n decode a trigger frame (TF) with random access allocations, the TF comprising indications of resource units (RUs) for random access, a length of the RUs for random access, and a subfield indicating whether a subsequent TF with subsequent random access allocations is scheduled for transmission, wherein the RUs for random access are each a group of subcarriers, and wherein the TF is received from a HE access point; reduce a backoff count based on a number of the RUs for random access; in response to the backoff count indicating the HE station is to contend for one of the RUs for random access, generate signaling to cause the HE station to wirelessly transmit a physical layer convergence procedure (PLCP) protocol data unit (PPDU) to the HE access point in accordance with a random selection of one of the RUs for random access; and in response to a transmission of the PPDU by the HE station being unsuccessful and the subfield of the TF indicating that the subsequent TF is scheduled, wait for the subsequent TF with subsequent random access allocations to attempt to retransmit the PPDU.
