Abstract
A station (STA) may operate as a first peer-to-peer (P2P) client (P2P1) for P2P operations with dual-stage triggering. The STA may decode a primary frame trigger frame (TF) from an access point (AP) operating as a coordinator. The primary TF may allocate resources in an initial portion of a time-duration allocation to the P2P1 for the P2P operations with one or more other peer stations, including a second P2P client (P2P2) and a third P2P client (P2P3). The primary TF may further allocate resources in a subsequent portion of the time-duration allocation to the P2P2 for the P2P operations. The STA may also encode a first secondary TF for transmission within the initial portion of the time-duration allocation. The first secondary TF may allocate specific resource units (RUs) to the one or more other peer stations. The STA may also decode a TB physical layer protocol data unit (TB PPDU) encoded in accordance with a multi-user orthogonal frequency division multiple access (MU OFDMA) frame format. The TB PPDU may be received concurrently within the initial portion of the time-duration allocation from the one or more other peer stations in accordance with an uplink OFDMA technique.
