Systems and methods are disclosed herein to provide efficient support for the exchange of trigger information between wireless data communication devices and systems, including Multi-User Multiple Input Multiple Output (MU-MIMO) devices and systems that may utilize Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA). In accordance with one or more embodiments, a trigger information exchange mechanism is disclosed that transfers trigger data as part of a pre-existing data frame handshake. Such a system may offer improved capabilities such as a reduced channel overhead incurred due to the trigger information exchange.
