Furthermore, what exactly is "shall support operation in 20 MHz channel bandwidth only" supposed to say? That the STA is not allowed to use any other channel bandwidth than 20 MHz (e.g., neither 40 MHz nor 10 MHz or smaller)? That does not sound likely, but this could be interpreted as saying so.. Or is this saying that STA shall support operation at least in a 20 MHz channel? Or something else? It would be good to be more specific on what the exact mandatory behavior is for an HE non-AP STA.
