Abstract: A method for multiple protocol wireless communications begins by determining protocols of wireless communication devices within a proximal region. The method then continues by determining whether the protocols of the wireless communication devices within the proximal region are of a like protocol. The method continues by, when the protocols of the wireless communication devices within the proximal region are not of a like protocol, selecting a protocol of the protocols of the wireless communication devices within the proximal region based on a protocol ordering to produce a selected protocol. The method continues by utilizing the selected protocol by the wireless communication devices within the proximal region to set up a wireless communication within the proximal region.

Abstract: Bandwidth mechanisms and successive channel reservation access within multiple user, multiple access, and/or MIMO wireless communications. A management frame, communicated from one wireless communication devices to one or more others, includes successive channel reservation assignment therein, and also indicates channel(s) within cluster(s) for use in respective communications (e.g., transmissions/receptions) of those wireless communication device(s) that receive the management frame. Subsequent management frames can modify or update such a channel assignment. Channel reservation for use in communications by respective wireless communication devices may be grown when additional channels may become available. Based on later determined information regarding the channel availability status, such channels that may become available can be used for subsequent, wider bandwidth communications.
