Claim Text:
1. A method, comprising: selecting, at a communication device, a number of spatial streams N selecting, at the communication device, a channel bandwidth; selecting, at the communication device, a modulation coding scheme (MCS) from i) a first set of MCSs when the selected channel bandwidth is a first channel bandwidth, or ii) a second set of MCSs when the selected channel bandwidth is a second channel bandwidth, wherein the first set of MCSs is different than the second set of MCSs, and the second set of MCSs excludes MCSs from the first set of MCSs that will result in a padding-related constraint not being met when the second channel bandwidth is to be used; encoding, at the communication device, information bits according to the selected MCS; after encoding, parsing, at the communication device, the information bits into N after parsing, interleaving, at the communication device, the information bits in each spatial stream, including after interleaving, modulating, at the communication device, the information bits according to the selected MCS; and generating, at the communication device, a plurality of Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) symbols using the modulated information bits.
