Abstract

This disclosure provides methods, devices, and systems for wireless communications. In some systems, an access point (AP) may assign a resource unit (RU) including a non-contiguous set of tones of a channel to a wireless node, such as a station (STA). The non-contiguous set of tones includes at least some tones that are non-contiguous in the frequency domain with all other tones of the set. The AP may generate an indicator for this RU and may transmit the indicator to the wireless node. The wireless node may receive the indicator, determine the non-contiguous set of tones for the indicated RU, and transmit data over the non-contiguous set of tones for the RU. The AP may receive the data via the RU (over the non-contiguous set of tones).
