Abstract: An access point station (AP) configured for operation in a wireless local area network (WLAN) may establish a target wake-up time (TWT) agreement with a non-access point station (STA). The TWT agreement may comprise an unavailability period during which the STA is unavailable. During establishment of the TWT agreement, a priority threshold may be indicated by the STA. The AP may encode frames for transmission to the STA during a transmission opportunity (TXOP) established by the AP. The TXOP may begin prior to activation of the TWT agreement. The AP may continue to send the frames during the unavailability period of the TWT agreement when the unavailability period occurs during the TXOP and when a priority of the frames meets the priority threshold. When the priority of the frames does not meet the priority threshold, the AP may end the TXOP before the unavailability period and may refrain from sending frames to the STA during the unavailability period.

For example, the reservation signal may be configured to indicate a busy Clear Channel Assessment (CCA) to a receiving STA.

Abstract: For example, an Access Point (AP) may be configured to configure a trigger frame to indicate an allocation of a triggered contention-based period to be allocated within a Transmit Opportunity (TxOP) of the AP. For example, the trigger frame may be configured to indicate that only one or more eligible non-AP stations (STAs), which are eligible to communicate during the triggered contention-based period, are to be allowed to contend a wireless medium during the triggered contention-based period. For example, the AP may be configured to transmit the trigger frame to initiate the allocation of the triggered contention-based period. For example, a non-AP STA may be configured to be allowed to contend the wireless medium for a transmission during the triggered contention-based period, for example, based on a determination that the non-AP STA is to be defined as an eligible non-AP STA for the triggered contention-based period.
