Methods, computer readable media, and wireless apparatuses are disclosed for virtual carrier sensing with two network allocation vectors (NAV). An apparatus of a wireless device is disclosed. The apparatus comprising processing circuitry configured to: determine a duration of a frame, determine whether the frame is an intra basic service set (Intra-BSS) frame, an inter-BSS frame, or an unclassified frame. The processing circuitry may be further configured to set an intra-BSS network allocation vector (NAV) to the duration of the frame, if the frame is determined to be the intra-BSS frame, and if a receiver address is decoded from the frame and the receiver address is not an address of the wireless device. The processing circuitry may be further configured to set a regular NAV to the duration of the frame, if the frame is determined to be the inter BSS frame or the unclassified frame.
