Abstract
Methods and apparatuses for facilitating channel access for transmission opportunity (TXOP) preemption procedures in a wireless local area network (WLAN). A station (STA) comprises a processor and a transceiver operably coupled to the processor. The processor is configured to determine that low latency traffic for uplink to an access point (AP) on a channel has arrived, and generate a channel access message that causes the AP to suspend downlink transmissions and/or causes other STAs to avoid accessing the channel. The transceiver is configured to transmit the channel access message during or at the end of an inter frame space (IFS) after a transmission from another device, and transmit the low latency traffic to the AP.
