Claim 16:
17. A wireless communication device that includes a memory and a processing circuitry coupled to the memory, the device including:
means for decoding at least one signal field portion of a signal field of a Physical Layer Convergence Protocol (PLCP) Data Unit (PPDU) received over a bonded channel, the bonded channel comprising a plurality of subchannels including a punctured subchannel, the at least one signal field portion received on at least one unpunctured subchannel of the plurality of subchannels, wherein the at least one signal field portion is not duplicated over the punctured subchannels;
means for determining, from the at least one signal field portion, information on a resource allocation for the device, the resource allocation indicating at least one resource unit (RU) used for a data field portion of the PPDU for the device; and
means for decoding the data field portion of the PPDU, the data field portion received on a part of the punctured subchannel based on the resource allocation, wherein the data field portion received on a part of the punctured subchannel is decoded based on the at least one signal field portion received on the at least one unpunctured subchannel.
