1. A method for transmitting data in a wireless local area network (WLAN), comprising:
transmitting, in the WLAN, a trigger frame from a first wireless communication device, the trigger frame comprising one or more U-Sig-Disregard subfields of bits totaling 11 bits at predefined bit locations within the trigger frame that are populated with values for a second wireless communication device to copy into an 11-bit U-Sig-Disregard field of a trigger based frame for transmission to the first wireless communication device.
