Deferral Information in Postambles and Midambles
First Claim
1. An apparatus for wireless communications, comprising:
- a processing system configured to generate a first frame having at least one of a midamble or a postamble that provides an indication of a request for a device to defer transmitting for a duration; and
an interface configured to output the first frame for transmission.

Abstract
Certain aspects of the present disclosure relate to including deferral information in postambles and midambles. An apparatus for wireless communications may generally include a processing system configured to generate a first frame having at least one of a midamble or a postamble that provides an indication of a request for a device to defer transmitting for a duration and an interface configured to output the first frame for transmission. Another apparatus for wireless communications may generally include a processing system configured to generate a frame having at least one of a midamble or a postamble designed to allow a device, after exiting a low-power state, to perform synchronization to the frame and an interface for outputting the frame for transmission. Including midambles and postambles in a frame allow for more reliable responses and may reduce throughput losses and interference.
