A container in a predetermined format having a predetermined number of audio streams including coded data items of a plurality of groups is transmitted. For example, the coded data items of the plurality of groups include either or both of channel coded data items and object coded data items. Attribute information indicating respective attributes of the coded data items of the plurality of groups is inserted into a layer of the container and/or a layer of an audio stream. For example, stream correspondence relation information indicating which audio stream includes each of the coded data items of the plurality of groups is further inserted.

Abstract: Using this described protocol an AP can control multiple STAs to allow them to utilize the same scrambling seed to scramble the data in identical data units being sent on the wireless network. The AP sends a scrambling seed indication within a frame communicated to other STAs on the network. These other STAs, then use this scrambling seed indication to scramble a data field of a data unit with an identical scrambling seed, and to transmit these packets using the same modulation and coding scheme (MCS).

Abstract: A wireless protocol allowing an AP to allocate time within a transmit opportunity (TXOP) to non-AP stations. The allocations are made under condition that the non-AP STA(s) will satisfy Access Class (AC) requirements communicated in a frame sent by the AP STA, such as within an MU RTS TXS Trigger frame. Upon receiving the frame, the non-AP responds on whether it can meet the conditions, such as within a Clear-To-Send (CTS) message. If the non-AP can meet the conditions, then it proceeds to transmit data (to the AP, or a peer non-AP). Otherwise, if it cannot meet the conditions, then the AP can communicate the allocation to another non-AP STA. There are also conditions for how the non-AP can aggregate data units into A-MSDUs.
