Patent ID: 11284403

Abstract:
Apparatuses, methods, and computer readable media for assignment of secondary millimeter wave channels. An apparatus of a station (STA) is disclosed that includes processing circuitry configured to decode a basic service set (BSS) operating channels field and a primary channel field from an access point (AP) or personal basic service set control point (PCP), wherein the BSS operating channels field is a bitmap that indicates which 2.16 GHz channels of a plurality of 2.16 GHz channels are permitted to be used for transmissions in the BSS, and wherein the primary channel field indicates a 2.16 GHz channel of the plurality of 2.16 GHz channels that is a primary channel of the BSS. The processing circuitry may be further configured to determine the primary channel, a secondary channel, a secondary1 channel, and a secondary2 channel based on the BSS operating channels field and the primary channel field.
