1. A first station (STA) comprising:
a processor; and
a transceiver,
the processor and the transceiver configured to:
determine values of a length field and a training length field of a legacy-header (L-header) to enable a second STA to calculate a transmitter time (TXTIME) of an enhanced directional multi-gigabit (EDMG) frame that the first STA will transmit, wherein the TXTIME is indicative of a duration of the EDMG frame; and
transmit, to the second STA, the EDMG frame with the L-header.
