Claim 22:
23. An apparatus of wireless communication by a wireless communication device, the apparatus comprising:
means for determining a Resource Unit (RU) allocation of a plurality of RUs to a plurality of wireless communication stations (STAs), the RU allocation to allocate to a STA of the plurality of STAs an RU of the plurality of RUs, wherein an RU size of the RU allocated to the STA is based at least on a traffic rate parameter, which is dependent on a traffic rate of Downlink (DL) traffic for the STA; and
means for causing the wireless communication device to transmit a Multi-User (MU) DL Orthogonal-Frequency-Division-Multiple-Access (OFDMA) Physical-layer Protocol Data Unit (PPDU) to the plurality of STAs according to the RU allocation,
wherein the means for determining the RU allocation comprises means for monitoring an average traffic rate of the DL traffic for the STA, and adjusting the RU size of the RU allocated to the STA based on a comparison between a threshold and a difference between the average traffic rate and an available throughout corresponding to the RU size.
