The legacy devices 506 may operate in accordance with one or more of IEEE 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac/ad/af/ah/aj/ay, or another legacy wireless communication standard. The legacy devices 506 may be STAs or IEEE STAs. In some embodiments, when the EHT AP 502 and EHT STAs 504 are configured to operate in accordance with IEEE 802.11EHT, the legacy devices 506 may include devices that are configured to operate in accordance with IEEE 802.11ax. The EHT STAs 504 may be wireless transmit and receive devices such as cellular telephone, portable electronic wireless communication devices, smart telephone, handheld wireless device, wireless glasses, wireless watch, wireless personal device, tablet, or another device that may be transmitting and receiving using the IEEE 802.11 protocol such as IEEE 802.11EHT or another wireless protocol. In some embodiments, the EHT STAs 504 may be termed extremely high throughput (EHT) stations or stations.

The EHT AP 502 may communicate with legacy devices 506 in accordance with legacy IEEE 802.11 communication techniques. In example embodiments, the EHT AP 502 may also be configured to communicate with EHT STAs 504 in accordance with legacy IEEE 802.11 communication techniques.

In some embodiments, a HE or EHT frame may be configurable to have the same bandwidth as a channel. The HE or EHT frame may be a physical Layer Convergence Procedure (PLCP) Protocol Data Unit (PPDU). In some embodiments, there may be different types of PPDUs that may have different fields and different physical layers and/or different media access control (MAC) layers. For example, a single user (SU) PPDU, multiple-user (MU) PPDU, extended-range (ER) SU PPDU, and/or trigger-based (TB) PPDU. In some embodiments EHT may be the same or similar as HE PPDUs.
