Abstract: This disclosure provides methods, devices, systems, and computer programs encoded on storage media, for clear channel assessment (CCA) for a wide bandwidth channel. For example, a wide bandwidth channel may have a bandwidth that is greater than 160 MHz bandwidth. An example wide bandwidth channel has a 320 MHz bandwidth. The CCA techniques include detection thresholds that may be used for wide bandwidth channels. In some implementations, a CCA process may be extended to include assessments of extended portions of a wide bandwidth channel (such as a tertiary 80 MHz bandwidth channel and a quaternary 80 MHz bandwidth channel). In some implementations, a CCA process may be extended to use an assessment of a secondary channel of the wide bandwidth channel that has a 160 MHz bandwidth.
