Trend of dense deployment of 802.11 WLANs makes it urgent to design effective and efficient channel access schemes. IEEE 802.11ax standard for the next generation WLAN introduces the orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) mechanism that supports downlink and uplink multi-user transmis...
