Claim 0:
1. A method for wireless communication by an apparatus of a wireless communication device, comprising:
selecting a first resource unit (RU) of a plurality of RUs for transmitting a physical (PHY) layer convergence protocol (PLCP) protocol data unit (PPDU) over a wireless medium, the first RU including a set of contiguous tones occupying a first frequency bandwidth, the plurality of RUs collectively spanning a second frequency bandwidth greater than the first frequency bandwidth;
mapping the set of contiguous tones of the first RU to a set of non-contiguous tones distributed across the second frequency bandwidth using a tone mapping vector and a tone mapping offset associated with the first RU, the tone mapping vector indicating a starting tone index and an ending tone index of the set of non-contiguous tones; and
transmitting the PPDU over the set of non-contiguous tones distributed across the second frequency bandwidth.
