Abstract

Some demonstrative embodiments relate to scheduling communications by multiple medium-access-control (MAC) modules. For example, a wireless communication unit may be configured to receive binding information from a host, the binding information defining a plurality of bindings between a plurality of MACs and a plurality of different Physical layer (PHY) communication channels sharing a common PHY module, wherein a binding of the bindings binds between a PHY channel of the PHY channels and one or more MACs of the plurality of MACs, and wherein, based on the binding information, the wireless communication unit is to schedule communication of the plurality of MACs over the plurality of PHY channels.
