Techniques for performing an intra-frame operation based at least in part on identifiers in a wireless local area network physical layer header

An apparatus for wireless communication at a receiving device, comprising:

• a physical layer header processor to receive a first physical layer header of a first wireless local area network (WLAN) protocol data unit, sent by a transmitting device, over a shared radio frequency spectrum band, the first physical layer header comprising at least a value of a color field and at least one of a first device identifier or an uplink/downlink indicator, wherein the value of the color field indicates a first identifier of a basic service set (BSS) and the value of the color field is selected by the transmitting device;
• a BSS identifier to compare a second identifier of a BSS to the first identifier of the BSS, the second identifier of the BSS identifying a BSS used by the receiving device;
• and
• an intra-frame operations manager to perform an intra-frame operation based at least in part on the comparison and the at least one of the first device identifier or the uplink/downlink indicator.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing code for wireless communication at a receiving device, the code comprising instructions executable to cause the receiving device to:

• receive a first physical layer header of a first wireless local area network (WLAN) protocol data unit, sent by a transmitting device, over a shared radio frequency spectrum band, the first physical layer header comprising at least value of a color field and at least one of a first device identifier or an uplink/downlink indicator, wherein the value of the color field indicates a first identifier of a basic service set (BSS) and the value of the color field is selected by the transmitting device;
• compare a second identifier of a BSS to the first identifier of the BSS, the second identifier of the BSS identifying a BSS used by the receiving device;
• and
• perform an intra-frame operation based at least in part on the comparison and the at least one of the first device identifier or the uplink/downlink indicator.
