A wireless device, system and method. The device includes a processing circuitry is configured to decode duplicate Request to Send (RTS) frames from a first access point (AP) that is part of an Extended Service Set (ESS) including a second AP, the first AP and the second AP buffering data for the device. The processing circuitry is further to cause transmission of duplicate multi-AP channel bonding (MACB) Trigger frames to the first AP and to the second AP in response to the duplicate RTS frames. Each of the duplicate RTS frames and duplicate Trigger frames have a legacy preamble portion over a first bandwidth of a corresponding wireless channel, and a MACB portion over a second narrower bandwidth of the corresponding wireless channel. The processing circuitry is further to decode a first data frame portion from the first AP and a second data frame portion from the second AP.
A wireless communication device comprising a memory and processing circuitry, the processing circuitry including logic and being configured to:
A product comprising one or more tangible computer-readable non-transitory storage media comprising computer-executable instructions operable to, when executed by at least one computer processor, cause the at least one computer processor to implement operations at a wireless communication device, the operations comprising:
A method of operating a wireless communication device, the method comprising:
