2.5.2.b. For Dynamic Channel plan devices only 633
TCL sends a NewChannelReq command to the DUT for configuring new channel frequencies. 634
NewChannelReq command is supported for only Dynamic channel plan devices. 635
For Fixed channel plan devices, DUT must silently drop the request packet. 636
637
2.5.2.b.i. Read-only default channels 638
The mandatory default channels are defined in [2]. The TCL will send NewChannelReq 639
that tries to modify these channels. The DUT must reply with an unsuccessful 640
NewChannelAns NOT = ([0x]0703). 641
2.5.2.b.ii. Addition of a channel 642
TCL sends a MAC command to add a single new channel. 643
The DUT must reply with a successful NewChannelAns and begin using the new channel 644
in its random selection of frequencies. This test may use any frequency applicable for 645
that region [2]. 646
2.5.2.b.iii. Removal of a channel 647
TCL sends NewChannelReq to set the previously configured channel to 0 MHz 648
frequency. 649
The DUT must reply with a successful NewChannelAns and stop using the additional 650
channel in its uplink transmissions. 651
2.5.2.b.iv. Addition and removal of multiple channels 652
TCL sends multiple MAC commands in a single frame to configure the additional 653
