Transmission opportunity contention for multiple user operation

Abstract:

Methods, systems, and devices are described for wireless communication at a station. The station identifies a first set of enhanced distributed channel access (EDCA) parameters for a first access category based at least in part on a first traffic type and a determination that a multiple user (MU) frame is to be transmitted, and contends to gain access for a transmission opportunity over a shared radio frequency spectrum band to communicate with a plurality of other stations in a MU mode. The contention is based at least in part on the first set of EDCA parameters.
