Claim 8:
9. The networking device of claim 1, wherein to determine the available bandwidth of the first station of the plurality of stations, the processing circuit is further configured to:
generate and transmit a bandwidth query report poll (BQRP) trigger frame to the first station;
receive, from the first station in response to the BQRP trigger frame, a channel quality report that is indicative of channel quality of each frequency band of a plurality of frequency bands between the first station and the networking device, wherein an available bandwidth of the networking device is divided into the plurality of frequency bands; and
determine, for each frequency band of the plurality of frequency bands, whether the associated channel quality is greater than a threshold value, wherein the available bandwidth of the first station corresponds to one or more frequency bands of the plurality of frequency bands having the channel quality greater than the threshold value.
