Abstract
A first communication device in a wireless local area network (WLAN) selects an aggregate communication channel from a first set of one or more allowed non-overlapping aggregate communication channels that is wholly within a first radio frequency (RF) sub-band that is adjacent in frequency to a second RF sub-band. The second RF sub-band includes a second set of one or more allowed non-overlapping aggregate communication channels that is wholly within the second RF sub-band and that is separated in frequency from the first set of allowed aggregate communication channels by a gap in frequency. The gap in frequency is smaller than a cumulative bandwidth of two component communication channels in the first RF sub-band. The method also includes: using, at the first communication device, the selected aggregate communication channel to transmit a packet to one or more second communication devices in the WLAN.
