    Abstract: The present disclosure suggests to expand and improve the method of utilizing channel resources in the 802.11be standard by allowing the use of multiple and non-contiguous portions of a channel. Supporting multiple resource units (MRUs) and non-contiguous resource units (RUs) improves the channel utilization by making it more efficient due to enhancing the capability of leveraging the channel selectivity. To this end, a wireless network device for resource allocation is provided and configured to define a non-contiguous MRU in the bandwidth of the channel. The channel comprises a plurality of RUs, and the MRU is defined based on non-punctured RUs after puncturing one or more of the RUs of the channel, and/or is defined by aggregating two or more non-adjacent RUs of the channel.

    Abstract: An access point, AP (110), configured to perform a sounding procedure with one or more associated non-AP stations (120) in a wireless local area network (100) is provided. The AP (110) comprises a processing circuitry (111) configured to generate a null data PPDU announcement, NDPA, frame, wherein the NDPA frame comprises for each of the one or more associated non-AP stations (120) a station info field. The station info field comprises a partial BW info subfield, including a feedback bitmap and an indication of a resolution and/or a range of the feedback bitmap with a 20 MHz or 40 MHz subchannel resolution for a Sounding NDP with a bandwidth of up to 320 MHz. The AP (110) further comprises a communication interface (113) configured to transmit the NDPA frame to the one or more associated non-AP stations (120). Moreover, a corresponding non-AP station (120) is disclosed.

    Abstract: This application provides a resource unit combination indication method and a communications apparatus. The method includes: determining a physical layer protocol data unit PPDU, where the PPDU includes a signal field, the signal field includes a resource unit allocation subfield and a combination indication corresponding to the resource unit allocation subfield, the resource unit allocation subfield indicates a plurality of resource units, and the combination indication indicates combination information of the plurality of resource units; and sending the PPDU. The method provided in this application can support one or more users in transmitting data by using a plurality of contiguous or discontiguous RUs, and indicate a combination status of the plurality of RUs to the user.

    Abstract: A multi-link device (MLD) has a medium access control (MAC) layer management entity (MLME) and a station management entity (SME). The SME indicates a selected link identity (ID) to the MLME. The selected link ID is used to indicate the link being used for frame exchange between an access point (AP) affiliated with an AP MLD and a non-AP station (STA) affiliated with a non-AP MLD. One or more frames are exchanged through the link indicated by the selected link ID.
