Description

Robust action frame transmission Cross Reference to Related Applications This patent application claims priority from U.S. provisional patent application No. 63/594,267, entitled "ROBUST ACTION FRAME TRANSMISSION (robust action frame transmission)" filed on day 10, 2023, and U.S. provisional patent application No. 18/819,119, entitled "ROBUST ACTION FRAME TRANSMISSION (robust action frame transmission)" filed on day 29, 2024, assigned to the assignee of the present application. The disclosures of these prior applications are considered to be part of the present patent application and are incorporated by reference into the present patent application. Technical Field Aspects of the present disclosure relate generally to wireless communications and, in particular, relate to techniques, apparatuses, and methods for robust action frame transmission. Background Wireless communication systems are widely deployed to provide various services that may include carrying voice, text, messaging, video, data, and/or other services. Services may include unicast services, multicast services, and/or broadcast services, among others. A typical wireless communication system may employ multiple access Radio Access Technologies (RATs) capable of supporting communication with multiple users by sharing available system resources (e.g., time domain resources, frequency domain resources, spatial domain resources, and/or device transmit power, etc.). Examples of such multiple access RATs include Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) systems, time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) systems, frequency Division Multiple Access (FDMA) systems, orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA) systems, single carrier frequency division multiple access (SC-FDMA) systems, and time division synchronous code division multiple access (TD-SCDMA) systems. The multiple access RATs described above have been employed in various telecommunications standards to provide a common protocol that enables different wireless communication devices to communicate at the urban, national, regional or global level. An example telecommunications standard is New Radio (NR). NR, which may also be referred to as 5G, is part of the continuous mobile broadband evolution promulgated by the third generation partnership project (3 GPP). NR (and other mobile broadband evolution beyond NR) may be designed to better support internet of things (IoT) and reduced capability device deployments, industrial connectivity, millimeter wave (mmWave) extensions, licensed and unlicensed spectrum access, non-terrestrial network (NTN) deployments, side-link and other device-to-device direct communication technologies (e.g., cellular internet of vehicles (CV 2X) communications), massive Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO), split network architecture and network topology extensions, multi-subscriber implementations, high-precision positioning and/or Radio Frequency (RF) sensing, and so forth. As the demand for mobile broadband access continues to grow, additional improvements in NR may be realized and other radio access technologies (such as 6G) may be introduced to further advance mobile broadband evolution.
