Various embodiments relate to a method performed by a first wireless device for bandwidth negotiation for frame exchange in a TXOP with a second wireless device, including: announcing by the first wireless device a channel puncture scheme indicating whether some 20 MHz channels covering a BSS operating bandwidth are punctured or not; transmitting a frame to the second wireless device indicating a bandwidth for the frame exchange; receiving a frame from the second wireless device indicating a negotiated bandwidth for the frame exchange; and exchanging frames with the second wireless device using the negotiated bandwidth.
