Abstract
In a wireless network in which communication devices are configured to use a first guard interval between symbols or a second guard interval between symbols, wherein the first guard interval has a length shorter than a length of the second guard interval, a field is generated to indicate a set of one or more modulation and coding schemes (MCSs) supported by a first device in the wireless network and to indicate whether each of the one or more MCSs is supported when using the first guard interval. A data unit that includes the field is generated and transmitted to a second device in the wireless network.
