Abstract:
In some aspects, the disclosure is directed to methods and systems for extending a range of wireless communication. In one aspect, a first station device from one or more stations receives a trigger frame comprising a predetermined bit from an access point. The first station device may transmit to the access point a first response message in a first format during a first time period, in response to detecting the predetermined bit in the trigger frame. The first station device may transmit to the access point, a second response message in a second format during a second time period, in response to detecting the predetermined bit in the trigger frame. The first station device may receive, from the access point, a downlink frame during a third time period after the first time period and the second time period.

Claim (Index 8):
A method, comprising:\n transmitting, by an access point to a plurality of station devices, a trigger frame comprising a predetermined bit set to cause a first station device of the plurality of station devices to transmit a first response message in a first format and a second response message in a second format, each of the first response message and the second response message indicating that the access point is clear to transmit; enabling a receiver of the access point during a first time period to receive the first response message from the first station device; enabling the receiver of the access point during a second time period to receive the second response message from the first station device; and transmitting, by the access point to the first station device, a downlink frame during a third time period after the first time period and the second time period, in response to receiving at least one of the first response message and the second response message.
