Top Level Issues
How to learn AP/Base Station’s capabilities?
Multi-band with rules per band, multi-mode
Base Stations licensed, other stations not licensed in some bands
IBSS prohibited in some bands
2.5MHz channelization in 4.9 and 5.0 GHz
How to signify Channel Ids
Carrier sense rules satisfied
PCF maximum duration; fragmentation
Already required for .11, .11b lower rates
Spectral efficiency requirements
met by mandatory 16QAM modes

Channel ID techniques
.11a Channel center = x n [n=0-199]
Could designate [n= ] negative to signify [negative first channel signifies below 5000]
Together with ‘First Channel Offset’ signifies center frequency on 0.5 MHz accuracy (examples on slide5)
.11g Table 105, enumerated by country
