NOTE 1—The channel spacing for operating classes 116, 117, 119, 120, 122, 123, 126, and 127 specifies the maximum radio bandwidth of one frequency segment In these operating classes, the AP operates in a 20/40 MHz BSS, and the operating channel width for a non-AP STA is either 20 MHz or 40 MHz.
NOTE 2—The channel spacing for operating classes 128, 129, and 130 specifies the maximum radio bandwidth of one frequency segment.
NOTE 3—E-x-y refers to operating class y in Table E-x.
