Abstract
This disclosure provides methods, devices, and techniques to indicate operations by extremely high throughput (EHT) devices on an operating bandwidth, including devices in a basic service set (BSS) supporting the use of a 320 MHz channel. In some aspects, the supported functionality may include extensions to flexibility and support rules, structures, and signaling using legacy fields, frames, and features. In addition, the supported functionality may include channel sensing and reporting, such as per-channel network allocation vectors (NAVs) for the sub-channels of the operating bandwidth. A device may identify an operating mode for an operating bandwidth and determine a value for a bandwidth query report (BQR) or a target wake time (TWT) element. The device may check multiple NAVs for sub-channels of the operating bandwidth. The operating bandwidth may span concurrent operations on traditional Wi-Fi frequency bands including the 2.4 and 5 GHz bands as well as the 6 GHz band.
