Abstract: An adaptive set of RTA Adaptive EDCA rules and structures are provided to allow non-AP STAs to transmit RTA packets inside a R-TWT SP. The RTA Adaptive EDCA Parameter Set can be selected in response to receiving a trigger from the associated AP, or by pre-configuration. Non-AP STAs, as R-TWT member or non-member of the current R-TWT SP, can switch from using the regular EDCA parameters to the new RTA Adaptive EDCA parameters inside the R-TWT SP. Various rules are described for duration of use, while the AP can prevent STAs from using the new RTA Adaptive EDCA at any time inside of the R-TWT SP.
