UPDATING CAPABILITIES BEFORE CHANNEL SWITCH

Methods, apparatuses, and computer readable media for updating capabilities, where a station (STA) comprises processing circuitry configured to: transmit to an access point (AP) on a first channel of a first band, an association request including a first capabilities element for a first communications standard, decode, from the AP on the first channel of the first band, an association response, the association response including a second capabilities element for the first communications standard on the first band, transmit to the AP, a channel usage request frame with a third capabilities element for a second communications standard on a second channel of a second band, and encode for transmission to the AP on the second channel of the second band, a data frame using the third capabilities element and a fourth capabilities element received from the AP on the first channel on the first band.
