Abstract
This disclosure provides methods, components, devices and systems for back-to-back transmissions via a multi-hop relay path using flow-specific resource reservation. Some aspects more specifically relate to flow-specific transmission opportunity (TXOP) sharing and/or orthogonal channel reservation in combination with a flow-specific sequence of time slots. In implementations in which flow-specific TXOP sharing is employed in combination with a flow-specific sequence of time slots, one or more wireless communication devices may determine whether a shared TXOP supersedes the flow-specific sequence of time slots in accordance with whether the shared TXOP is associated with a same flow as the sequence of time slots. In implementations in which orthogonal channel reservation is employed in combination with a flow-specific sequence of time slots, each wireless communication device of a multi-hop relay path may receive an indication of or otherwise be configured with a frequency channel via which to transmit.
