Abstract
A device includes circuitry that identifies one or more basic service sets (BSSs) that include at least one access point (AP) and one or more corresponding stations (STA) associated with an extended service set (ESS) based on one or more location or configuration parameters. The circuitry also determines ESS color information associated with the one or more BSSs of the ESS, and transmits a physical layer convergence protocol (PLCP) protocol data unit (PPDU) to the one or more BSSs that includes an enhanced MPDU delimiter indicating at least one of the ESS color information, BSS color information, or spatial reuse parameters (SRPs).
