Claim:
1. A method performed by a wireless device, the method comprising: generating, by the wireless device, a rate-matched High Efficiency Signal B (HE-SIG-B) field by Block Convolution Code (BCC) encoding an HE-SIG-B field and rate-matching, according to a puncturing pattern, a BCC block of the encoded HE-SIG-B field; generating, by the wireless device, a Physical Layer Protocol Data Unit (PPDU) including the rate-matched HE-SIG-B field; and transmitting, by the wireless device, the PPDU, wherein a total number N is a total number of bits of the HE-SIG-B field that precede the BCC block, wherein the total number N is greater than 0, and wherein the puncturing pattern depends on the total number N.
