Abstract
A wireless communication apparatus, system or method for operation on a network utilizing CSMA/CA, in which non-AP stations can share their TXOP. After obtaining a TXOP, a non-AP station informs the AP to share the TXOP within its BSS. The AP collects buffer status and the QoS requirements of the buffer from the stations and arranges transmissions during the shared TXOP to satisfy the QoS requirement of the buffer reported by the STAs. The non-AP station can also share its TXOP through the AP using trigger frames or other mechanisms. The AP station may be part of a multi-link device and the AP can arrange transmissions on multiple links of an MLD.
