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.

1-20. (canceled)
A device for transmitting an enhanced directional multi-gigabit (EDMG) frame using a communication bandwidth, the device comprising processing circuitry coupled to storage, the processing circuitry configured to:
- determine a primary channel associated with a wireless communication bandwidth;
- determine a secondary channel associated with the wireless communication bandwidth, wherein the secondary channel is allocated for a transmission over the wireless communication bandwidth;
- encode an enhanced directional multi-gigabit (EDMG) field with a first index of a table, wherein the first index is associated with a primary channel ID of the primary channel, a first bandwidth value, and a first channel ID of the secondary channel, and wherein the primary channel ID indicates a location of the primary channel within the wireless communication bandwidth;
- and
- cause to send the EDMG field to a first device over the secondary channel.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing computer-executable instructions for transmitting an enhanced directional multi-gigabit (EDMG) frame using a communication bandwidth which when executed by one or more processors result in performing operations comprising:
- determining a primary channel associated with a wireless communication bandwidth;
- determining a secondary channel associated with the wireless communication bandwidth, wherein the secondary channel is allocated for a transmission over the wireless communication bandwidth;
- encoding an enhanced directional multi-gigabit (EDMG) field with a first index of a table, wherein the first index is associated with a primary channel ID of the primary channel, a first bandwidth value, and a first channel ID of the secondary channel, and wherein the primary channel ID indicates a location of the primary channel within the wireless communication bandwidth;
- and
- causing to send the EDMG field to a first device over the secondary channel.
A method for transmitting an enhanced directional multi-gigabit (EDMG) frame using a communication bandwidth, the method comprising:
- determining a primary channel associated with a wireless communication bandwidth;
- determining a secondary channel associated with the wireless communication bandwidth, wherein the secondary channel is allocated for a transmission over the wireless communication bandwidth;
- encoding an enhanced directional multi-gigabit (EDMG) field with a first index of a table, wherein the first index is associated with a primary channel ID of the primary channel, a first bandwidth value, and a first channel ID of the secondary channel, and wherein the primary channel ID indicates a location of the primary channel within the wireless communication bandwidth;
- and
- causing to send the EDMG field to a first device over the secondary channel.
