Abstract

Embodiments of the present invention can assign multiple resource units (RUs) to a single wireless station using an aggregated Multi-RU (“virtual resource unit” or “vRU”) that aggregates multiple RUs, and the parameters of the virtual RU can be calculated according to existing standards such the padding schemes and RUs (e.g., RU26, RU52, RU106, RU242, RU484, RU996, RU2x996) defined in IEEE 802.11ax. The virtual RU parameters used for joint encoding can be directly calculated based on formulas described herein according to embodiments of the present invention, and according to values obtained from pre-defined tables.
