1. A method for generating a physical layer (PHY) data unit for transmission by a communication device via a communication channel, the method comprising:

  • receiving, by the communication device, a plurality of information bits to be included in the PHY data unit;

    determining, by the communication device, a maximum number of information bits that can be encoded such that, after the plurality of information bits have been encoded using i) a forward error correction scheme to obtain coded information bits, and ii) a block coding scheme to obtain block coded bits from the coded information bits, the block coded bits fit within a single orthogonal frequency division multiplex (OFDM) symbol on the communication channel, whereinthe maximum number of information bits is based on a number of repetitions of the coded information bits by the block coding scheme, anda number of the block coded bits for the maximum number of information bits is less than a number of data tones of the single OFDM symbol;

    encoding, by the communication device, the plurality of information bits with the maximum number of information bits using the forward error correction scheme and the block coding scheme to generate the block coded bits; and

    generating, by the communication device, the PHY data unit to include the block coded bits in the single OFDM symbol.
