Abstract
An interface circuit in an electronic device (such as an access point) may request a channel status in order to specify a subset of one or more frequency sub-bands. During operation, the interface circuit may provide at least a frame to the recipient electronic device, where the frame requests the channel status for the one or more frequency sub-bands. Then, the electronic device may receive one or more measurement results from the recipient electronic device that specify the subset of the one or more frequency sub-bands (such as one or more RUs) that are not to be used when communicating with the recipient electronic device.
