Apparatus and method for extremely high throughput (eht) medium reservation

A first electronic device, comprising:

• a transceiver configured to transmit and receive wireless transmissions;
• a processor, coupled to the transceiver, configured to:
• receive via the transceiver, Request to Send (RTS) and Clear To Send (CTS) capabilities of a second electronic device;
• transmit via the transceiver, RTS and CTS capabilities of the first electronic device;
• configure a CTS response mode for the first electronic device based at least on the RTS and CTS capabilities of the first and the second electronic devices;
• receive via the transceiver, from the second electronic device, a first RTS frame on a secondary channel, wherein the first RTS frame indicates extremely high throughput (EHT) bandwidth (BW) channel reservations that includes a punctured channel;
• and
• transmit via the transceiver, to the second electronic device, a first CTS frame on the secondary channel, wherein the secondary channel is based at least on the EHT BW channel reservations and the CTS response mode.

A method, comprising:

• transmitting Request to Send (RTS) and Clear To Clear (CTS) capabilities of a first electronic device;
• receiving RTS and CTS capabilities of a second electronic device;
• configuring a CTS response mode for the first electronic device based at least on the RTS and CTS capabilities of the first and the second electronic devices;
• transmitting to the second electronic device, a first RTS frame on a secondary channel, wherein the first RTS frame indicates extremely high throughput (EHT) bandwidth (BW) channel reservations according to the CTS response mode;
• and
• receiving from the second electronic device, a first CTS frame on the secondary channel, wherein the secondary channel is included in the EHT BW channel reservations.
