Claim 12:
13. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium that stores instructions for execution by processing circuitry of an extremely high-throughput (EHT) station (STA) to configure the EHT STA to:
encode an EHT physical layer protocol data unit may be a physical layer conformance procedure (PLCP) protocol data unit (PPDU) for transmission on a plurality of subchannels, the EHT PPDU comprising a preamble portion and a subsequent portion; and
determine a spectral mask to apply to the EHT PPDU prior to transmission of the EHT PPDU,
wherein when preamble puncturing is performed, the processing circuitry is configured to:
apply an overall spectral mask to the EHT PPDU prior to transmission by applying an interim spectral mask and further applying a preamble-puncture spectral mask to the EHT PPDU; and
configure the EHT PPDU for transmission on each of the subchannels of the plurality except for one or more punctured subchannels of the plurality,

wherein when the preamble puncturing is not performed, the processing circuitry is configured to:
configure the EHT PPDU for transmission on each of the subchannels of the plurality by only applying the interim spectral mask to the EHT PPDU,

wherein the preamble-puncture spectral mask is determined based on whether the one or more punctured subchannels comprise edge subchannels or comprise middle subchannels of the EHT PPDU.
