    Abstract: Embodiments of a station (STA) and method for communication on primary and secondary channel resources are generally described herein. The STA may transmit a grant frame to indicate a transmission of a data payload by the STA during a grant period. The grant frame may indicate whether the data payload is to be transmitted on primary channel resources or on secondary channel resources. The STA may transmit the data payload to a destination STA on the secondary channel resources when the grant frame indicates that the data payload is to be transmitted on the secondary channel resources. The grant frame may be transmitted on the primary channel resources and on the secondary channel resources when the grant frame indicates that the data payload is to be transmitted on the secondary channel resources.

    Abstract: Techniques to enable dynamic bandwidth management at the physical layer level while maintaining backwards compatibility in wireless systems is provided. Furthermore, techniques for reducing the occurrence of exposed nodes are provided. A transmitter may transmit a frame including an indication that a PHY layer sub-header defining a bandwidth associated with a channel is present. Furthermore, the transmitter may transmit a third frame after receiving a second frame from a receiver to indicate to legacy stations that the TXOP was successful.
