1. An access point (AP), comprising:
one or more memories that store processor-executable code; and
one or more processors coupled to the one or more memories, the one or more processors individually or collectively configured to, in association with executing the code, cause the AP to:
transmit a trigger frame indicating, to a station (STA), a selected packet duration for uplink (UL) transmissions from the STA to the AP;
receive an UL packet of the selected packet duration from the STA; and
selectively adjust a packet duration for subsequent reception of UL transmissions from the STA based at least in part on a first amount of data carried in the UL packet, wherein selectively adjusting the packet duration includes decreasing the packet duration responsive to the first amount of data carried in the UL packet and a second amount of UL data queued in the STA.
