14. A method for wireless communication, comprising:
receiving, via at least a portion of a wireless channel, a packet including a preamble portion and a data portion, the preamble portion including:
a universal signal field (U-SIG) that is duplicated on each subchannel of a first subset of subchannels of the wireless channel, the first subset of subchannels including two or more subchannels, and the U-SIG including at least a version identifier that indicates a version of the packet and frequency occupation information that indicates a bandwidth of the wireless channel and punctured channel information, wherein the two or more subchannels of the first subset of subchannels are determined based at least in part on the bandwidth of the wireless channel and the punctured channel information; and
a first signal field that is encoded in a frequency domain across the first subset of subchannels; and
decode the first signal field on the first subset of subchannels in accordance with the version identifier and the frequency occupation information.
