Abstract
The present document provides a method, apparatus, and computer program for determining, in a communication device of a first basic service set comprising a group of communication devices of a wireless telecommunication network, a primary channel of a second basic service set different from said first basic service set. Thereafter, the communication device causes transmission of channel identification information defining a location of at least one channel of the first basic service set from the communication device to the second basic service set on the determined primary channel of the second basic service set.
Claims20
A method, comprising:
- determining, by a communication device of a first basic service set comprising a group of communication devices of a wireless telecommunication network, a primary channel of a second basic service set different from said first basic service set;
- and
- causing, by the communication device, transmission of channel identification information defining a location of at least one channel of the first basic service set from the communication device to the second basic service set on the determined primary channel of the second basic service set, for protecting transmissions on one or more secondary channels of the first basic service set,
- wherein the determined primary channel of the second basic service set is different from a primary channel of the first basic service set, and wherein the communication device is not part of the second basic service set.
An apparatus comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- at least one memory including a computer program code, wherein the at least one memory and the computer program code are configured, with the at least one processor, to cause the apparatus to:
- cause a communication device of a first basic service set comprising a group of communication devices of a wireless telecommunication network, to determine a primary channel of a second basic service set different from said first basic service set;
- and
- cause, by the communication device, transmission of channel identification information defining a location of at least one channel of the first basic service set from the communication device to the second basic service set on the determined primary channel of the second basic service set, for protecting transmissions on one or more secondary channels of the first basic service set,
- wherein the determined primary channel of the second basic service set is different from a primary channel of the first basic service set, and wherein the communication device is not part of the second basic service set.
