Abstract
A wireless communication device (alternatively, device, WDEV, etc.) includes at least one processing circuitry configured to support communications with other WDEV(s) and to generate and process signals for such communications. In some examples, the device includes a communication interface and a processing circuitry, among other possible circuitries, components, elements, etc. to support communications with other WDEV(s) and to generate and process signals for such communications. A WDEV determines capabilities of other WDEVs and generates a first orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) frame that includes resource unit (RU) allocation specified for the other WDEVs and media access controller (MAC) padding (e.g., selected based on capability of at least one of the other WDEVs. The WDEV then transmits the first OFDMA frame to the other WDEVs to be processed by them and then receives a second OFDMA frame from the other WDEVs based on the RU allocation.
