Abstract
Methods, apparatuses, and computer readable media are shown for multi-user scheduling in wireless local-area networks (WLANs). A wireless communication device is shown including circuitry to determine a plurality of schedules for each of a plurality of channels for an orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) communication in a wireless local-area network (WLAN). Each of the plurality of schedules may include a frequency allocation for one or more communication devices. The circuitry may be further configured to transmit the corresponding schedule of the one or more schedules on each of the one or more channels. Each of the plurality of schedules may include a schedule type and a user association identification (AID) list. A number of user AIDs in the user AID list may be based on the schedule type.
