Abstract
Apparatuses, computer readable media, and methods for uplink sounding in wireless networks are disclosed. An apparatus of a wireless device may include processing circuitry configured to: encode an uplink sounding trigger element (USTE) for one or more stations, the USTE comprising one or more uplink (UL) resource allocations for the one or more stations to transmit one or more uplink sounding referee elements (USREs) to the wireless device. The processing circuitry may be further configured to configure the wireless device to transmit the USTE to the one or more stations, and decode the one or more USREs from the one or more station, wherein the one or more USREs are to be received by the wireless device in accordance with a corresponding resource allocation indicated in the USTE.
