Abstract

Embodiments can include a method in which a transmission duration for data frames to a plurality of different receiving devices is determined by a transmitting device. The transmission duration can include at least interframe spacings that separate the data frames from one another. The transmitting device can transmit a control message over a medium to reserve the medium for the transmission duration. The data frames can then be sequentially transmitted by the transmitting device to the plurality of receiving devices during the transmission duration. The transmitting device can operate according to a contention based protocol. Related devices and systems are also disclosed.
