2. doc.: IEEE 802.11-10/1064r2 Submission Channelization for 20/40/80 MHz Recall : 40/80 MHz channelization [1] –Consists of two adjacent IEEE 20/40 MHz channels –Non-overlapping channelization Atheros Communications, Inc. Slide 2 1401361321281241201161121081041001651611571531496460565248444036 IEEE channel # 20 MHz 40 MHz 80 MHz 5170 MHz 5330 MHz 5490 MHz 5710 MHz 5735 MHz 5835 MHz Channelization in US

3. doc.: IEEE 802.11-10/1064r2 Submission Channelization for Contiguous 160 MHz Apply the same rule as in 40 and 80 MHz channel construction –Consists of two adjacent IEEE 80 MHz channels –Non-overlapping channelization Not necessary to come up with coexistence rules for partially overlapping channels Atheros Communications, Inc. Slide 3 1401361321281241201161121081041001651611571531496460565248444036 IEEE channel # 20 MHz 40 MHz 80 MHz 5170 MHz 5330 MHz 5490 MHz 5710 MHz 5735 MHz 5835 MHz 160 MHz Channelization in US

4. doc.: IEEE 802.11-10/1064r2 Submission Noncontiguous 160 MHz (VHT80+80) BSS Any two nonadjacent 80 MHz channels may be used in setting up a noncontiguous 160 MHz (VHT80+80) BSS –Allows VHT80 STA to associate with the VHT80+80 BSS –Allows contiguous-only devices to associate with the VHT80+80 BSS as a VHT80 STA Atheros Communications, Inc. Slide 4 1401361321281241201161121081041001651611571531496460565248444036 IEEE channel # 20 MHz 40 MHz 80 MHz 5170 MHz 5330 MHz 5490 MHz 5710 MHz 5735 MHz 5835 MHz Examples of VHT80+80 BSS Setup

5. doc.: IEEE 802.11-10/1064r2 Submission Channelization for Other Regions REVmb D5.0 Annex E has operation class tables for four regions –US, Europe, Japan, Global Propose the following channelization for Europe, Japan and Global operating class tables –Note: China does not have this band Atheros Communications, Inc. Slide 5 1401361321281241201161121081041006460565248444036 IEEE channel # 20 MHz 40 MHz 80 MHz 5170 MHz 5330 MHz 5490 MHz 5710 MHz 160 MHz

6. doc.: IEEE 802.11-10/1064r2 Submission Straw Poll #1 Do you support adding the following into the specification framework document, 11-09/0992? –160 MHz channels consists of two adjacent IEEE 80 MHz channels, and do not partially overlap with each other. Youhan Kim, et al.Slide 6 September 2010

7. doc.: IEEE 802.11-10/1064r2 Submission Straw Poll #2 Do you support adding the following into the specification framework document, 11-09/0992? –A noncontiguous 160 MHz BSS shall be setup using any two nonadjacent 80 MHz channels on which a STA is permitted to establish an 80 MHz BSS. Youhan Kim, et al.Slide 7 September 2010

8. doc.: IEEE 802.11-10/1064r2 Submission Straw Poll #3 Do you support updating the specification framework document, 11-09/0992, as follows? –Update channelization for the US operating class to include 160 MHz channels as shown on slide 3 –Include channelization for Europe, Japan and Global operating classes as shown on slide 5 Youhan Kim, et al.Slide 8 September 2010
