    Abstract: A wireless communication device, method and product. The device includes a memory and processing circuitry coupled to the memory. The processing circuitry comprises logic and is configured to: process a time synchronization function (TSF) information element (IE) from an access point (AP), the TSF IE including information on a plurality of transmit opportunity (TXOP) slots in a frequency domain and in a time domain, the TXOP slots indicating respective narrowband channels of a wideband channel in the frequency domain for communication with the device; generate a data frame based on the TSF IE; and cause transmission of the data frame over a subset of the TXOP slots, the subset being aggregated over at least one of the frequency domain and the time domain.

    Abstract: This disclosure describes methods, apparatuses, and systems related to network allocation vectors. A device is disclosed that may determine a first length of time corresponding to a first spatial reuse transmit opportunity (SR-TxOP) time period. The device may determine a second length of time corresponding to a transmit opportunity (TxOP) time period that starts when a request to send (RTS) frame is transmitted and ends after the first length of time ends. The device may cause to transmit the RTS frame, over the channel, to a first device. The device may determine that a clear to send (CTS) frame is received from the first device, the CTS frame comprising a first duration field equal to having a third length of time corresponding to a second transmission opportunity (SR-TxOP). The device may determine that the third length of time corresponds to a length of time between when the CTS frame was transmitted and when the first length of time ends. The device may determine that the third length of time is less than the second length of time. The device may cause to transmit a CTS to self frame, over the channel, comprising a second duration field equal to having a fourth length of time, wherein the fourth length of time corresponds to a length of time between when the CTS to self frame is transmitted and when the first length of time ends.

    Abstract: This disclosure describes systems, methods, and devices related to directional enhanced distributed channel access (EDCA) with interference avoidance. A device may determine a first radio frequency baseband (RF-BB) chain and on a second RF-BB chain associated with one or more antennas of the device. The device may identify a frame from a first device on the first RF-BB chain and the second RF-BB chain. The device may determine the frame is intended for the first RF-BB chain. The device may cause to access a communication channel using the first RF-BB chain. The device may determine an antenna pattern associated with the second RF-BB chain that does not substantially interfere with the first RF-BB chain. The device may cause to access the communication channel using the antenna pattern.
