1. An apparatus of a wireless device comprising:
- memory; and
processing circuitry coupled to the memory, the processing circuitry configured to;
encode a high efficiency (HE) packet comprising a plurality of HE signal (HE-SIG) fields, each of the HE-SIG fields comprising an indicator to indicate, an arrangement of resource units (RUs) in frequency for one of a plurality of 20 MHz band, wherein each HE-SIG field is to configure HE stations to receive a data portion of the HE packet in a corresponding 20 MHz band, and wherein each of the HE-SIG fields is separately encoded for transmission on the corresponding 20 MHz band of the HE packet; and
configure the HE packet for transmission by the wireless device.

Abstract
Embodiments of a transmission signaling structure for HEW are defined to carry packet information to configure OFDMA receivers for demodulation of a specific portion of the packet and/or to configure receivers for transmission using specific OFDMA and MU-MIMO resources. In some embodiments, the specific portion of the packet comprises one or more minimum bandwidth units of one or more 20 MHz channels. Each 20 MHz bandwidth structure may comprise several minimum bandwidth units to allow each 20 MHz channel to have a have smaller granularity than 20 MHz.
