802.11 HCF NAV extends beyond txop limit
- channel is granted to EDCAF, it starts a txop, FS progresses as expected.
- at the end of txop, last frames duration field extends NAV beyond txop limit.
- NAV prevents even the same EDCAF to start contention for the channel.
This might be a serious problem if the frame is big enough due to aggregation for example. The result is that the sender may not be able to access the channel for 1ms.
