Device and method for medium reservation with extremely high throughput (EHT)

摘要

Some embodiments include an apparatus, method, and computer program product for extremely high throughput medium reservation (EHT). Some embodiments include a first station configured to exchange EHT request to send and / or EHT ready to send capabilities (EHT-RTS and / or EHT-CTS capabilities) with a second station and to use the CTS response mode ( e.g. rules) for the first station based at least on the RTS and CTS capabilities of the first and second stations. Some embodiments include sending RTS frames and receiving CTS frames in the presence of punctured channels, implementing a flexible channel reservation scheme, reserving punctured bandwidths, and receiving CTS frames even when a primary channel is busy. Some embodiments include an RTS or a CTS frame that includes an EHT bandwidth puncturing (BnP) signaling address and / or a modified scrambler seed that allows channel reservations for an EHT bandwidth.
