Abstract
A wireless communication system for minimum allocation includes an access point (AP) and a number of stations (STAs) communicating with the AP via a network such as a wireless local area network. The AP can identify an STA to which a trigger frame is to be sent by the AP. The AP further determines the amount of resources to be provided by the AP to the identified STA through the trigger frame. The AP can also determine a frequency of sending the trigger frame to the STA. The resources can include a frequency allocation, a time duration and a modulation coding scheme. The time duration is a maximum receive (RX) physical-layer convergence protocol (PLCP) protocol data unit (PPDU) duration.
