1. A method of wireless communication performed by a first station (STA), the method comprising:
at the first station (STA) transmitting an association request for receipt by a second STA for joining a Basic Service Set (BSS);
receiving an association response from the second STA, wherein the association response specifies a first duration threshold for an RTS/CTS data transmission, and wherein the first duration threshold is specific to the first STA;
setting a duration threshold parameter of the first STA to the first duration threshold;
receiving a management frame from the second STA, wherein the management frame is transmitted by the second STA and comprises a first duration threshold field; and
in response to detecting that the first duration threshold field in the management frame indicates a value of zero, preserving the first duration threshold for the duration threshold parameter of the first STA.
