METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PROVIDING VERY HIGH THROUGHPUT OPERATION AND CAPABILITY SIGNALING FOR WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS

摘要

A method and apparatus are disclosed for enabling very high throughput (VHT) communications. A wireless transmit and receive unit (WTRU) may receive, from an access point (AP), a management frame comprising VHT capabilities information. The VHT capabilities information may comprise an indication of support for reception via non-contiguous channels. The WTRU may transmit, on a condition that reception via non-contiguous channels is supported, at least one data packet, to the AP, via multiple non-contiguous channels. The multiple non-contiguous channels may be used simultaneously.

1. A wireless transmit and receive unit (WTRU) comprising:
a receiver configured to receive a management frame comprising very high throughput (VHT) capabilities information from an access point (AP), wherein the VHT capabilities information comprises an indication of support for reception via non-contiguous channels; and a transmitter configured to transmit at least one data packet to the AP via multiple non-contiguous channels on a condition that reception via non-contiguous channels is supported, wherein one of the multiple non-contiguous channels is a primary channel.
