1. An apparatus for an Extremely High-Throughput (EHT) Station (STA), the apparatus comprising: processing circuitry; and memory,
wherein for transmission in an 80 MHz EHT physical layer convergence procedure protocol data unit (PPDU) using a multiple resource unit (RU) (MRU) in an 80 MHz bandwidth, the MRU comprising a first 242-tone RU and a 484-tone RU, the processing circuitry is configured to:
jointly encode data only on tones of the first 242-tone RU and the 484-tone RU;
puncture tones of a second 242-tone RU within the 80 MHz bandwidth prior transmission; and
transmit the 80 MHz PPDU to an access point station (AP) in accordance with orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) on the MRU,
wherein the second 242-tone RU is assigned to another STA for transmission of a 20 MHz PPDU,
wherein the 80 MHz bandwidth comprises first, second, third and fourth 20 MHz segments, the first 20 MHz segment comprising a lowest frequency region of the 80 MHz bandwidth, the fourth 20 MHz segment comprising a highest frequency region of the 80 MHz bandwidth, the second 20 MHz segment being higher in frequency than the first 20 MHz segment and adjacent to the first 20 MHz segment, and the third 20 MHz segment being lower in frequency than the fourth 20 MHz segment and adjacent to the fourth 20 MHz segment,
wherein the 484-tone RU resides only in either the first and second 20 MHz segments or the third and fourth 20 MHz segments, and
wherein:
when the first 242-tone RU resides in the first 20 MHz segment and the 484-tone RU resides in the third and fourth 20 MHz segments, the punctured tones of the second 242-tone RU reside in the second 20 MHz segment;
when the first 242-tone RU resides in the second 20 MHz segment and the 484-tone RU resides in the third and fourth 20 MHz segments, the punctured tones of the second 242-tone RU reside in the first 20 MHz segment;
when the first 242-tone RU resides in the third 20 MHz segment and the 484-tone RU resides in the first and second 20 MHz segments, the punctured tones of the second 242-tone RU reside in the fourth 20 MHz segment; and
when the first 242-tone RU resides in the fourth 20 MHz segment and the 484-tone RU resides in the first and second 20 MHz segments, the punctured tones of the second 242-tone RU reside in the third 20 MHz segment.
