Original Abstract Submitted
Embodiments of a method performed by wireless device are disclosed. In one embodiment, a method performed by a wireless device comprises receiving, from a wireless access point, information that indicates transmission times of one or more upcoming trigger frames (TFs). The method further comprises performing one or more actions based on the information that indicates the transmission times of the one or more upcoming TFs. In this manner, by knowing the transmission times of the one or more upcoming TFs, the wireless device is able to decide not to contend for the medium when it knows that it can fulfil traffic latency requirements (e.g., transmit uplink data within the required latency limit) by waiting for the upcoming TF(s). Corresponding embodiments of a wireless device are also disclosed. Embodiments of a wireless access point and methods of operation thereof are also disclosed.
