• a node configured to communicatively couple to an antenna;
• and
• an interface circuit, communicatively coupled to the node, configured to communicate with an electronic device, wherein the interface circuit is configured to:
• receive, at the node, at least a frame associated with the electronic device, wherein the frame requests a channel status for one or more frequency sub-bands;
• and
• provide, to the node, one or more measurement results intended for the electronic device, the one or more measurement results specifying a subset of the one or more frequency sub-bands that are not to be used for communication with the recipient electronic device.
