Claim 23:
24. A station (STA), comprising:
a wireless receiver;
a wireless transmitter; and
a processor configured to:
operate the wireless receiver to receive information corresponding to a first frequency range being used by the station, said information identifying a set of resource units (RUs) in the first frequency range that are subject to a lower power spectral density (PSD) constraint than other resource units or channels in the first frequency range or which are not to be used;
operate the STA to encode data to be transmitted in a first frame, said encoding including encoding data for RUs which are not subject to the lower PSD constraint and which are to be used while not encoding data for RUs in the first frame which are subject to the lower PSD constraint or which are not to be used; and
operate the STA to transmit data in the first frame which uses the first frequency range but which leaves at least some RUs, which are subject to the lower PSD constraint or which are not to be used, unused by the first frame.
