15. A symmetric transmit opportunity (TXOP) truncation method, comprising:
-
receiving a frame from an access point (AP) that includes an indicator of an end of a TXOP;
responsive to receiving the indicator, sending a first frame that truncates the TXOP around a first station;
receiving the first frame at the AP; and
responsive to receiving the first frame at the AP, sending a second frame that truncates the TXOP around the AP. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19)

20. A symmetric transmit opportunity (TXOP) truncation method, comprising:
-
sending at a first station a first frame;
sending at the first station an extended interframe space (EIFS) set frame after the first frame; and
sending at a second station a second frame having a completed transmission corresponding to time based on an interval of EIFS less DIFS, the interval commencing from an end of the short frame. - View Dependent Claims (21, 22, 23, 24, 25)
