1. An apparatus comprising logic and circuitry configured to cause an Access Point (AP) to:
transmit a frame over a wireless communication channel, the frame comprising a field according to a first Physical layer Protocol Data Unit (PPDU) version decodable by a wireless communication (STA) of a first STA type, the field configured to indicate to the STA of the first STA type that the wireless communication channel is to be reserved for a reserved duration; and
communicate a low-overhead PPDU with a STA of a second STA type over the wireless communication channel during a Synchronized Transmit Opportunity (S-TxOP), wherein the S-TxOP is within the reserved duration, wherein the low-overhead PPDU is configured according to a second PPDU version decodable by the STA of the second STA type, the low overhead PPDU comprising a low-overhead preamble excluding one or more preamble fields of the first PPDU version.
