1. A method for transitioning a station (STA) to an uplink multi-user (UL MU) disable mode, comprising;
entering, with the STA, a UL MU enable mode;
calculating a value of a predetermined interrupt condition according to MU enhanced distributed channel access (EDCA) data and legacy EDCA data; and
determining whether to transition the STA to a UL MU disable mode by comparing the value of the predetermined interrupt condition to a predefined threshold,
wherein the predetermined interrupt condition is provided by the STA in the UL MU enable mode to transition the STA to the UL MU disable mode when the STA is unable to respond to a UL MU operation.
