Apparatuses, methods, and computer readable media for signaling clear-channel assessment parameters in a high-efficiency wireless local area network (HEW) are disclosed. A HEW master station comprising circuitry is disclosed. The circuitry may be configured to determine one or more clear-channel assessment (CCA) parameters for one or more HEW stations, and transmit a CCA parameter of the one or more CCA parameters to the corresponding HEW station of the one or more HEW stations. The clear-channel assessment parameter may be one from the following group: mid-packet detect (MPD) threshold, energy detect threshold, and signal detect threshold. The HEW master station may determine the CCA parameter based on the at least one of the following group: an uplink signal strength of the HEW device, a signal quality report received from the HEW device, and a downlink signal strength of the master station received by the HEW device.
