Claim 0:
1. A networking device of a wireless network, comprising:
a processing circuit configured to:
determine an available bandwidth of each station of a plurality of stations of the wireless network;
assign a bandwidth and one or more spatial streams to each station of the plurality of stations, wherein the bandwidth assigned to each station of the plurality of stations is less than or equal to the determined available bandwidth thereof, wherein the bandwidth assigned to a first station of the plurality of stations is different from and partially overlaps with the bandwidth assigned to a second station of the plurality of stations, and wherein the one or more spatial streams assigned to the first station are different from the one or more spatial streams assigned to the second station and the assigned spatial streams are based on the assigned partially overlapping bandwidths;
generate a data packet that is indicative of the bandwidth and the one or more spatial streams assigned to each station of the plurality of stations; and
transmit the data packet to the plurality of stations, wherein multi-user multiple-input-multiple-output (MU-MIMO) communication is enabled between the networking device and the plurality of stations in the wireless network based on the data packet.
