Description
Technical Field

Background
In today's Wireless Fidelity (WiFi) deployment environment, 2.4GHz has become increasingly saturated and there are only 3 non-overlapping 20MHz channels at 2.4 GHz. The 5GHz band is currently not as crowded as 2.4 GHz. There are 23 non-overlapping 20MHz channels, 9 non-overlapping 40MHz channels and 4 non-overlapping 80MHz channels at 5 GHz.
More and more WiFi devices on the market support 802.11n and 802.11ac protocols, and these WiFi devices include an Access Point (AP) and a terminal (STA). And the WiFi equipment supporting the 802.11n and 802.11ac protocols has dual-band capability, or can be switched to operate between 2.4GHz and 5GHz, or can simultaneously operate at 2.4GHz and 5 GHz.
Even though many WiFi APs and STAs now have the capability of supporting dual bands, there is no established procedure to utilize this capability to maximize the utilization of each band.

The multi-band Operation (MBO) is proposed to solve the above problems.
