  • Publication number: 20200404680
    Abstract: A communication device determines that simultaneous transmission and reception via multiple frequency segments in a WLAN is not permitted. The communication device transmits a first packet in a first frequency segment beginning at a first time, and transmits a second packet in a second frequency segment beginning at a second time that is different than the first time. Transmission of the second packet overlaps in time with transmission of the first packet. In response to having determined that simultaneous transmission and reception via multiple frequency segments is not permitted, the communication device includes in the first packet padding so that an end of transmission of the first packet occurs at a same time as an end of transmission of the second packet.
