The wireless communication system may include a first wireless transceiver device having an enhanced preamble puncturing capability, where the first wireless transceiver device is configured to operate in a first transmission bandwidth including one primary and multiple non-primary channels.

Abstract: Examples pertaining to preamble puncturing negotiation in wireless communications are described. A station (STA) may receive a control frame, and, in response, apply the MRU pattern for one or more transmissions or receptions in a transmission opportunity (TXOP). In the control frame, either a plurality of first reserved bits in a SERVICE field or a plurality of bits in a User Info field are set to indicate a multiple resource unit (MRU) pattern regarding preamble puncturing.

Abstract: An access point (AP) and a station (STA) communicate with each other, with the AP indicating to the STA either or both of a preamble detection (PD) channel and a signaling (SIG) content channel and with the STA being initially monitoring a primary frequency segment of a plurality of frequency segments in an operating bandwidth of the AP. A downlink (DL) or triggered uplink (UL) communication is performed between the AP and the STA during a transmission opportunity (TXOP) such that: (i) during the TXOP, the STA monitors a preamble on the PD channel and decodes a SIG content on the SIG content channel; and (ii) after an end of the TXOP, the STA switches to the primary frequency segment.

Abstract: A Wi-Fi (Wi-Fi) device and a transmission control method are provided. The Wi-Fi device selectively transmits at least a data division of a transmission data on a low performance link based on several parameters. The parameters include a start time point of a backoff procedure of the low performance link, a duration information associated with another Wi-Fi device on a high performance link, and some predefined exception conditions. By overhearing status of another Wi-Fi device on the high performance link, the Wi-Fi device attempts to acquire the duration information. If the duration information can be acquired, the Wi-Fi device calculates a coherent remnant-duration accordingly. Then, the Wi-Fi device determines whether the transmission data should be transmitted immediately on the low performance link, transmitted later on the high performance link, or partially transmitted on the low performance link.
