Enhanced high efficiency frames for wireless communications

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing computer-executable instructions which when executed by one or more processors result in performing operations comprising:

• generating a high efficiency signal-B (HE-SIG-B) field for a high efficiency (HE) frame, the HE-SIG-B field comprising a common information field and a user information field;
• including an indication of a resource unit (RU) allocation in the common information field, wherein the RU allocation is associated with a 996-tone RU and is encoded using a binary representation 11010y2y1y0 where y2y1y0 indicates a number of user fields signaled in a corresponding content channel;
• generating two consecutive RU allocation subfields for each HE-SIG-B content channel of a first HE-SIG-B content channel and a second HE-SIG-B content channel, wherein a first 8-bit RU Allocation subfield of the common information field includes a binary value that encodes the number of user fields signaled within the corresponding content channel, and wherein a second 8-bit RU Allocation subfield of the common information field is encoded with the binary value 01110011, which is associated with a 996-tone RU indicating zero user information fields;
• and
• causing to send the HE frame to a station device.
