Device, system and method of wireless communication over a combined channel
First Claim
1. A wireless communication device comprising:
- a wireless communication unit to transmit a wireless communication transmission over a combined channel including a primary channel and at least one secondary channel,wherein the wireless communication unit is to begin the transmission over the combined channel if a detected state of use of the secondary channel is idle for at least a predefined silence period preceding an expiration of a back-off period corresponding to the primary channel, wherein the silence period is longer than a priority interframe space (PIFS) interval.

Abstract
Some demonstrative embodiments include devices, systems and/or methods of wireless communication over a combined channel. For example, a wireless communication unit may transmit a wireless communication transmission over a combined channel including a primary channel and at least one secondary channel, wherein the wireless communication unit is to begin the transmission over the combined channel if a detected state of use of the secondary channel is idle for at least a predefined silence period preceding an expiration of a back-off period corresponding to the primary channel, wherein the silence period is longer than a priority interframe space (PIFS) interval. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

20. A method comprising:
-
measuring a back-off period corresponding to a primary channel of a combined channel including the primary channel and at least one secondary channel; detecting a state of use of the secondary channel; and if the detected state of use of the secondary channel is idle for at least a predefined silence period preceding an expiration of the back-off period, transmitting a wireless communication transmission over the combined channel, wherein the silence period is based on at least one predefined detection period required to detect the state of use of the secondary channel. - View Dependent Claims (21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28)
