    Abstract: Disclosed in some examples are methods, devices (e.g., STAs and APs), and machine readable mediums which utilize a Simultaneous Channel Access (SCA) to allow transmissions of a first wireless network to take place while transmissions are already ongoing in a second wireless network (the Principal Channel Access (PCA)). The SCA allows devices which support SCA to transmit frames even when other nearby devices on other networks have already accessed the medium and are engaged in frame transmission.

    Abstract: Some demonstrative embodiments include apparatuses, systems and/or methods of selecting a wireless communication channel to communicate in a wireless communication network. For example, a wireless communication device may include a channel selector to determine a plurality of channel grades of a respective plurality of potential wireless communication channels, the channel selector to determine a channel grade of the plurality of channel grades according to a weighted function of a plurality of channel assessment parameters corresponding to a potential wireless communication channel of the plurality of potential wireless communication channels, wherein the channel selector is to select, based on the plurality of channel grades, a selected wireless communication channel from the plurality of potential wireless communication channels; and a radio to communicate over the selected wireless communication channel.
