1. A device, the device comprising processing circuitry coupled to storage, the processing circuitry configured to:
utilize a tone plan to generate an extremely high throughput (EHT) frame to be sent using an 80 MHz frequency band, wherein the tone plan comprises a plurality of null tones;
encode one or more resource units (RUs) for the EHT frame, wherein the one or more RUs are selected from at least one of a 26-tone RU, a 52-tone RU, a 106-tone RU, a 242-tone RU, a 484-tone RU, and a 996-tone RU, wherein when the 106-tone RU, the 242-tone RU, or the 484-tone RU are selected, each of the 106-tone RU, the 242-tone RU, and the 484-tone RU comprise null tones located at least at subcarriers ±258, ±257, ±256, ±255, and ±254, wherein the EHT frame comprises an EHT signaling (EHT-SIG) field, wherein the EHT-SIG field includes a common field that comprises an indication of a number of users in a multi-user multiple-input multiple-output (MU-MIMO) communication, and wherein the indication of the number of users in the MU-MIMO communication is encoded using three bits of the EHT-SIG field; and
cause to send the EHT frame to a first station device using the 80 MHz frequency band.
 
9. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing computer-executable instructions which when executed by one or more processors result in performing operations comprising:
utilizing a tone plan to generate an extremely high throughput (EHT) frame to be sent using an 80 MHz frequency band, wherein the tone plan comprises a plurality of null tones;
encoding one or more resource units (RUs) for the EHT frame, wherein the one or more RUs are selected from at least one of a 26-tone RU, a 52-tone RU, a 106-tone RU, a 242-tone RU, a 484-tone RU, and a 996-tone RU, wherein when the 106-tone RU, the 242-tone RU, or the 484-tone RU are selected, each of the 106-tone RU, the 242-tone RU, and the 484-tone RU comprise null tones located at least at subcarriers ±258, ±257, ±256, ±255, and ±254, wherein the EHT frame comprises an EHT signaling (EHT-SIG) field, wherein the EHT-SIG field includes a common field that comprises an indication of a number of users in a multi-user multiple-input multiple-output (MU-MIMO) communication, and wherein the indication of the number of users in the MU-MIMO communication is encoded using three bits of the EHT-SIG field; and
causing to send the EHT frame to a first station device using the 80 MHz frequency band.
 
15. A method comprising:
utilizing a tone plan to generate an extremely high throughput (EHT) frame to be sent using an 80 MHz frequency band, wherein the tone plan comprises a plurality of null tones;
encoding one or more resource units (RUs) for the EHT frame, wherein the one or more RUs are selected from at least one of a 26-tone RU, a 52-tone RU, a 106-tone RU, a 242-tone RU, a 484-tone RU, and a 996-tone RU, wherein when the 106-tone RU, the 242-tone RU, or the 484-tone RU are selected, each of the 106-tone RU, the 242-tone RU, and the 484-tone RU comprise null tones located at least at subcarriers ±258, ±257, ±256, ±255, and ±254, wherein the EHT frame comprises an EHT signaling (EHT-SIG) field, wherein the EHT-SIG field includes a common field that comprises an indication of a number of users in a multi-user multiple-input multiple-output (MU-MIMO) communication, and wherein the indication of the number of users in the MU-MIMO communication is encoded using three bits of the EHT-SIG field; and
causing to send the EHT frame to a first station device using the 80 MHz frequency band.
