Abstract:
In a WLAN, a device sets a first NAV to a bandwidth used by a signal from a second device. The device selects a channel that does not correspond to the bandwidth from among a plurality of channels when a predetermined condition is satisfied. The predetermined condition includes a condition that the first NAV is set. The device transmits a first frame on the selected channel.

Claim (Index 1):
A wireless communication device in a wireless local area network (WLAN), the wireless communication device comprising:\n a hardware processor; and one or more memory devices coupled to the hardware processor, wherein the one or more memory devices include one or more instructions, which when executed by the hardware processor cause the wireless communication device to: receive, from an access point, an initiate frame to initiate an uplink multi-user transmission; acquire information associated with a required duration for transmission completion of a response frame for the initiate frame; receive a signal; determine a Basic Service Set (BSS) from which the signal was received; update a conventional Network Allocation Vector (NAV) based on the signal in response to determining that the BSS from which the signal was received is an Overlapping BSS; determine a permissibility of transmission of the response frame for the initiate frame in the uplink multi-user transmission, based on the conventional NAV and the acquired information; and transmit the response frame to the access point in the uplink multi-user transmission, responsive to a determination that transmission of the response frame for the initiate frame in the uplink multi-user transmission is permissible.
