1. A method for use in a station (STA), the method comprising:
receiving, from an access point (AP), a poll frame that indicates a response offset after an end of the poll frame;
transmitting, in response to the poll frame, based on the response offset, a service period request (SPR) frame that includes a multi-channel control field indicating support for a transmission in multiple channels; and
receiving, from the AP, a grant frame that includes an allocation of the multiple channels to enable the STA to perform a multiple-input and multiple-output (MIMO) transmission using at least two of the allocated multiple channels.
