1. A method, comprising:
distributing a plurality of subcarriers of a resource unit (RU) to generate a distributed-tone RU (dRU) over a partial bandwidth of a bandwidth; and
communicating with a communication entity using the dRU,
wherein the distributing of the plurality of subcarriers of the RU to generate the dRU over the partial bandwidth comprises distributing the plurality of subcarriers of the RU to generate one of:
twenty-seven 26-tone dRUs over a 60 MHz partial bandwidth, wherein first or starting tone indices of the twenty-seven 26-tone dRUs over the 60 MHz partial bandwidth comprise {0, 15, 6, 21, 12, 3, 18, 9, 24, 1, 16, 7, 22, 13, 4, 19, 10, 25, 2, 17, 8, 23, 14, 5, 20, 11, 26}, wherein a repetition period is 27, and wherein tones within one repetition period comprise {0}; or
twelve 52-tone dRUs over the 60 MHz partial bandwidth, wherein first or starting tone indices of the twelve 52-tone dRUs over the 60 MHz partial bandwidth comprise {0, 6, 3, 9, 1, 7, 4, 10, 2, 8, 5, 11}, wherein a repetition period is 27, and wherein tones within one repetition period comprise {0, 15}; or
six 106-tone dRUs over the 60 MHz partial bandwidth, wherein first or starting tone indices of the six 106-tone dRUs over the 60 MHz partial bandwidth comprise {0, 3, 1, 4, 2, 5}, wherein a repetition period is 27, and wherein tones within one repetition period comprise {0, 6, 15, 21}; or
three 242-tone dRUs over the 60 MHz partial bandwidth, wherein first or starting tone indices of the three 242-tone dRUs over the 60 MHz partial bandwidth comprise {0, 1, 2}, wherein a repetition period is 27, and wherein tones within one repetition period comprise {0:3:24}.
