Abstract
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.
