1. A method for operating a wireless communication device, the method comprising:

  • transmitting a management frame map to a plurality of wireless communication devices within a first transmission, the management frame map for directing operation and processing of a respective portion of a multi-user packet by each of the plurality of wireless communication devices; and

    transmitting the multi-user packet to the plurality of wireless communication devices within a second transmission that is different from, and subsequent to, the first transmission, wherein the multi-user packet including a map index including a cluster indication of the plurality of wireless communication devices, the map index indicating, based on the management frame map, a first of a plurality of operational parameters to be employed by at least one of the plurality of wireless communication devices when processing a first field following the map index in the multi-user packet, and the map index indicating a second of the plurality of operational parameters to be employed by a second of the plurality of wireless communication devices when processing a second field following the map index in the multi-user packet.
