Abstract
New reverse direction (RD) protocols for EHT devices during reserved target wait time (R-TWT) service periods (SPs). In this protocol the R-TWT scheduling AP does not have to trigger the RD initiator when it performs as the RD responder, and can trigger TB PPDU(s). In addition, the RD initiator is enabled to inform the RD initiator to inform its non-AP peer STA about the R-TWT information in the transmitted RD PPDU. The RD initiator is enabled to send a new MU RD PPDU to both the R-TWT scheduling AP and the non-AP peer STA, which allows the AP to quickly takeover scheduling if the non-AP peer STA is a non-RTWT member and has limited access the in current ongoing R-TWT SP.
