1. An electronic device for facilitating wireless communication, comprising processing circuitry configured to cause:
receiving a physical layer (PHY) protocol data unit (PPDU) including a PHY preamble including a first short training field (STF) corresponding to a non-high-throughput (Non-HT) short training field (L-STF), a first long training field (LTF) corresponding to a Non-HT long training field (L-LTF), a first signal field corresponding to a Non-HT signal (L-SIG) field, a second signal field corresponding to a repeated Non-HT signal (RL-SIG) field, and a third signal field corresponding to a universal signal (U-SIG) field;
checking a control field in the PPDU, the control field indicating whether the PHY preamble in the PPDU carries payload information and the PPDU includes no data field carrying payload information;
obtaining the payload information from the PHY preamble if the control field indicates that the PHY preamble in the PPDU includes the payload information and the PPDU carries no data field; and
processing the payload information.
