1. A first wireless device comprising:
a network interface to communicate using up to 16 spatial streams in a wireless network with wireless devices; and
at least one processor operatively connected to the network interface and configured to send a control information element to a plurality of the wireless devices, that specifies, for each of the plurality of the wireless devices, a respective allocation of a minimum of two to a maximum of four spatial streams from the 16 spatial streams, based on a 4-bit spatial configuration index in the control information element that maps to a respective spatial configuration of the 16 spatial streams in a spatial configuration table, wherein different values of the 4-bit spatial configuration index map to different spatial configurations in the spatial configuration table that correspond to different allocations of the 16 spatial streams.
