AS A RESULT OF REEXAMINATION, IT HAS BEEN DETERMINED THAT:
The patentability of claims 1-19 is confirmed.
1. An apparatus, comprising:
a network interface comprising one or more integrated circuit (IC) devices configured to:
receive a plurality of information bits to be included in a physical layer (PHY) data unit for transmission via a communication channel,
determine a number NES of encoders for encoding the plurality of information bits for transmission at a particular data rate using frequency division multiplexing (OFDM), wherein when a number NDBPS of information bits per OFDM symbol, to be used for transmission of the information bits, divided by a minimum number of encoders, operating at a particular coding rate, required for encoding the plurality of information bits for transmission at the particular data rate is a non-integer value, the number NES of encoders is selected as a number that i) is greater than the minimum number of encoders and ii) satisfies a constraint that NDBPS/NES is an integer value,
prior to encoding the information bits, add a number of padding bits to the information bits, wherein the number of padding bits is determined based on the determined number NES of encoders;
wherein the network interface includes a set of encoders, implemented on the one or more IC devices, the set of encoders configured to encode the information bits using the determined number NES of encoders, each of the NES of encoders operating at the particular coding rate, to generate coded bits; and
wherein the one or more IC devices are further configured to
generate the PHY data unit to include the coded bits.
