1. A method performed by an access point (AP), comprising:
transmitting a downlink frame that is eliciting a response from a plurality of stations, the downlink frame including a first address field;
receiving an uplink frame in response to the downlink frame, the uplink frame including a second address field, wherein the second address field is set to a value of the first address field when the downlink frame is of a first type, or a value of an address associated with a station (STA) when the downlink frame is of a second type; and
receiving the uplink frame on a resource allocated by resource allocation information included in the downlink frame for an uplink multi-user transmission,
wherein the AP simultaneously receives uplink frames in response to the first type of downlink frame, wherein the AP simultaneously receives uplink data frames.
