1. An apparatus, comprising:
- a transceiver capable of communicating in a first basic service set (BSS) of a wireless network that is operable adjacent to a second basic service set (BSS) of said wireless network, wherein when said first BSS and said second BSS operate such that said first BSS and said second BSS contain channels that at least partially overlap, said transceiver selects a primary channel of said first BSS to be next to a primary channel of said second BSS so that said first and said second BSSs avoid collisions with each other due to said at least partial overlapping.

Abstract
An embodiment of the present invention provides an apparatus, comprising a transceiver capable of communicating in a first basic service set (BSS) of a wireless network that is operable adjacent to a second basic service set (BSS) of said wireless network, wherein when the first BSS and the second BSS operate such that the first BSS and the second BSS contain channels that at least partially overlap, the transceiver selects a primary channel of the first BSS to be next to a primary channel of the second BSS so that the first and the second BSSs avoid collisions with each other due to the at least partial overlapping.

19. A wireless network access point (AP), comprising:
a transceiver capable of communicating in a first basic service set (BSS) of a wireless network that is operable adjacent to a second basic service set (BSS) of said wireless network, wherein when said first BSS and said second BSS operate such that said first BSS and said second BSS contain channels that at least partially overlap, said transceiver selects a primary channel of said first BSS to be next to a primary channel of said second BSS so that said first and said second BSSs avoid collisions with each other due to said at least partial overlapping.
- 20. The AP of claim 20, wherein said channels are 40 MHz channels that allow 40 MHz PPDU transmissions across a 40 MHz channel boundary between said BSSs.
