Right.

And a channel in the 2.4GHz band (WLAN) can not be linked with a channel
in the 5.9GHz band (WLAN) because the former is ran with a BSS whereas
the latter is Outside the Context of a BSS (OCB).  As such it is
impossible to realize the FCC claim to provide cutting edge high
throughput bandwidth ("the Commission proposes to designate the lower 45
megahertz of the band for unlicensed uses like
Wi-Fi. This 45 megahertz sub-band can be combined with existing
unlicensed spectrum to provide cutting-edge high-throughput broadband
applications on channels up to 160 megahertz wide.")

So if FCC wants to run WiFi with a BSS in this 5875-5895MHz band, such
as to legitimately call it WiFi, and to achieve high throughput, then it
can only be in mode with a BSS, and it can not be in mode without a BSS
(OCB).

There is indeed a similarity.

But 802.16 is more different than 802.11 than 802.11-OCB is different
than 802.11.

802.16 runs in licensed and paid spectrum (one has to acquire i.e. pay
money to get) whereas 802.11-OCB one does not have to buy spectrum.

There are other stronger differences I think.

In practice: how do you think it is possible to link together two
channels one from 5.4GHZ WiFi and one from 5.9GHz OCB?

I think for my part of the 'iw' command.  That allows to link together
two channels, by specifying the channel width: 10MHz, 20MHz, etc.  But
they must be adjacent in the first places.

And one cant do that linking to create a channel that is in part OCB and
in part non-OCB.  Light can be wave and particle but channel cant be
both OCB and with BSS.

It is a good goal that I share entirely.  But dont invade other goals.

FCC does not talk about locations or regions.

But I do agree with you on the principle.  I talked recently to a 
highway operator complaining about the lack of 3G 4G feasibility on 
their roads.

BUt we cant work without a solid basis.
