Claim 4:
5. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein when a single subchannel within a central portion of the EHT PPDU is punctured,
the processing circuitry is configured to:
determine mask values for the overall spectral mask,
wherein for each frequency where the non-preamble-puncture spectral mask has a value and the preamble-puncture spectral mask does not have a value in an occupied subchannel, the processing circuitry is to set the mask value for the overall spectral mask to the value of the non-preamble-puncture spectral mask, and
wherein for other frequencies where a non-preamble-puncture spectral mask and the preamble-puncture spectral mask both have values greater or equal to −23 dBr, the processing circuitry is to set the mask value for the overall spectral mask to a lower value of the non-preamble-puncture spectral mask and the preamble-puncture spectral mask.
