Abstract:
Embodiments of a multiband central controller, a multiband communication station and methods for multiband network operations are generally described herein. In some embodiments, the central controller may be configured for multiband operations within non-coextensive frequency bands. The central controller may transmit a response frame to a receiving station that includes two or more multiband elements. Each multiband element includes a basic service set identification (BSSID) and may indicate an available channel and a frequency band associated with the available channel. The frequency band may be one of the non-coextensive frequency bands within which the central controller is operating. The multiband elements may provide frequency band and channel information to the station prior to the station joining a network that is managed by the central controller.

Claim (Index 2):
An apparatus of client station (STA) configurable for multi-band operation, the apparatus comprising:\n baseband circuitry; and memory, wherein the baseband circuitry is configured to: decode an association or reassociation response frame received from an access point, the response frame including a plurality of multiband elements ordered in an order that includes a first multiband element and a sequential second multiband element that the client STA is to use to attempt to associate or reassociate with the access point, wherein each of the multiband elements includes a basic service set identification (BSSID) field, a channel number field to indicate an available channel, and a band ID field to indicate one of a plurality of frequency bands associated with the available channel; and cause the STA to conduct communications with the access point, according to a fast session transfer (EST) protocol, wherein the communications according to the FST protocol are initiated in response to communication of an FST message that includes the first multiband element, wherein the memory is configured to store the first multiband element.
