1. A method for wireless communications, comprising:
- receiving, on a contention access (CA) channel, one or more transmissions containing transmit opportunity (TXOP) scheduling information that can be used by a plurality of wireless nodes for determining TXOPs for sending transmissions;
determining a TXOP based, at least in part, on the scheduling information and one or more monitored clear channel assessment (CCA) busy events; and
sending a transmission during the determined TXOP.
