BANDWIDTH AND PRIMARY CHANNEL INDICATION
This disclosure describes systems, methods, and devices related to bandwidth and primary channel indication. A device may encode an extended directional multi-gigabit (EDMG) field with one or more indications of a primary channel ID, a bandwidth value, or a channel ID for transmission over a wireless communication channel associated with the channel ID. The device may cause the EDMG field to be wirelessly transmitted to a first device over the wireless communication channel.
1 . A device, the device comprising memory and processing circuitry, configured to:
encode an extended directional multi-gigabit (EDMG) field with one or more indications of a primary channel ID, a bandwidth value, or a channel ID for transmission over a wireless communication channel associated with the channel ID; and
cause the EDMG field to be wirelessly transmitted to a first device over the wireless communication channel.
2 . The device of claim 1 , wherein the wireless communication channel is at least one of a 2.16 GHz, a 4.32 GHz, a 6.48 GHz, a 8.64 GHz, or a 2.16 GHz+2.16 GHz channel.
3 . The device of claim 1 , wherein the wireless communication channel is comprised of one or more aggregated adjacent channels.
4 . The device of claim 1 , wherein each one of the one or more indications is an index to an entry in a table, wherein the table includes one or more combinations of a primary channel ID, a bandwidth value, or a channel ID.
5 . The device of claim 4 , wherein the index is comprised of one or more bits having most significant bits (MSBs) and least significant bits (LSBs), wherein the MSBs are associated with the bandwidth value, and wherein the LSBs are associated with the primary channel ID and the channel ID.
6 . The device of claim 1 , wherein the memory and the processing circuitry are further configured to determine whether the one or more indications include a first index and a second index, wherein the first index is associated with the bandwidth value and the channel ID, and the second index is associated with the primary channel ID.
7 . The device of claim 1 , wherein the memory and the processing circuitry are further configured to:
determine that the EDMG field is i associated with an EDMG physical layer convergence protocol data unit (PPDU); and
associate the one or more indications with the bandwidth value and the channel ID.
8 . The device of claim 1 , wherein the primary channel ID is associated with at least one of an in-band primary channel or an out-band primary channel.
9 . The device of claim 1 , further comprising a transceiver configured to transmit and receive wireless signals.
10 . The device of claim 10 , further comprising one or more antennas coupled to the transceiver.
11 . A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing computer-executable instructions which when executed by one or more processors result in performing operations comprising:
identifying an extended directional multi-gigabit (EDMG) field received from a device on a wireless communication channel;
identifying one or more indications associated with at least one of a primary channel ID, a bandwidth value, or a channel ID; and
causing to send one or more frames to the device based at least in part on the one or more indications.
12 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 11 , wherein the wireless communication channel is at least one of a 2.16 GHz, a 4.32 GHz, a 6.48 GHz, a 8.64 GHz, or a 2.16 GHz+2.16 GHz channel.
13 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 11 , wherein the wireless communication channel is comprised of one or more aggregated adjacent channels.
14 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 11 , wherein each one of the one or more indications is an index to an entry in a table, wherein the table includes one or more combinations of a primary channel ID, a bandwidth value, or a channel ID.
15 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 14 , wherein the index is comprised of one or more bits having most significant bits (MSBs) and least significant bits (LSBs).
16 . A method comprising:
encoding, by one or more processors, an extended directional multi-gigabit (EDMG) field with one or more indications of a primary channel ID, a bandwidth value, or a channel ID for transmission over a wireless communication channel associated with the channel ID; and
causing the EDMG field to be wirelessly transmitted to a first device over the wireless communication channel.
17 . The method of claim 16 , wherein the wireless communication channel is at least one of a 2.16 GHz, a 4.32 GHz, a 6.48 GHz, a 8.64 GHz, or a 2.16 GHz+2.16 GHz channel.
18 . The method of claim 16 , wherein the wireless communication channel is comprised of one or more aggregated adjacent channels.
19 . The method of claim 16 , wherein each one of the one or more indications is an index to an entry in a table, wherein the table includes one or more combinations of a primary channel ID, a bandwidth value, or a channel ID.
20 . The method of claim 16 , wherein the index is comprised of one or more bits having most significant bits (MSBs) and least significant bits (LSBs), wherein the MSBs are associated with the bandwidth value, and wherein the LSBs are associated with the primary channel ID and the channel ID.
