Abstract:
A communication device generates a physical layer (PHY) preamble of a multi-user (MU) PHY data unit. The PHY preamble includes a first signal field, and a second signal field. The second signal field includes: a common field that includes a value, selected from a codebook, that indicates i) an allocation of frequency resources to one or more resource units, wherein each resource unit corresponds to a respective block of consecutive orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) tones, and ii) a respective number of receiving devices assigned to each resource unit. The second signal field also includes a plurality of user-specific fields that indicate an allocation of the one or more resource units to the multiple receiving devices, wherein each user-specific field corresponds to a respective receiving device and includes i) an identifier of the respective receiving device, and ii) an indication of which one or more spatial streams are allocated to the respective receiving device.

Claim (Index 14):
The apparatus of  claim 9 , wherein:\n the common field is a first common field; the value selected from the codebook is a first value; the allocation of frequency resources is a first allocation of frequency resources corresponding to a first frequency channel; the one or more resource units are one or more first resource units; the plurality of user-specific fields are a plurality of first user-specific fields; the one or more IC devices are further configured to:\n generate the PHY preamble to include the second signal field in the first frequency channel, \n generate the PHY preamble to include a third signal field, wherein the third signal field includes:\n a second common field that includes a second value, selected from the codebook, that indicates i) a second allocation of frequency resources, corresponding to a second frequency channel, to one or more second resource units, wherein each second resource unit corresponds to a respective block of consecutive OFDM tones, and ii) a respective number of receiving devices assigned to each second resource unit, and \n a plurality of second user-specific fields that indicate an allocation of the one or more second resource units to the multiple receiving devices, wherein each second user-specific field corresponds to a respective receiving device and includes i) an identifier of the respective receiving device, and ii) an indication of which one or more spatial streams are allocated to the respective receiving device.
