Enhanced signaling for unequal modulation and modulation and coding schemes in single user wireless transmissions

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising instructions to cause processing circuitry of a device for signaling multiple modulation and coding schemes for a single user, upon execution of the instructions by the processing circuitry, to:

• generate a common field of an ultra-high reliability (UHR) signal (UHR-SIG) content channel field, wherein the common field comprises signaling for multiple station devices;
• generate a number of spatial streams (NSS) subfield of a user specific field of the UHR-SIG content channel field, wherein the user specific field is addressed to a first station device of the multiple station devices;
• generate a 6-bit modulation and coding scheme (MCS) subfield of the user specific field, wherein the 6-bit MCS subfield maps, based on a number of spatial streams signaled by the NSS subfield, to one or more MCSs assigned to the first station device;
• generate a frame comprising the UHR-SIG content channel field, wherein a user field of the user specific field comprises at least 22 bits comprising the MCS subfield;
• and
• cause to send the frame.

A method for signaling multiple modulation and coding schemes for a single user, the method comprising:

• generating, by processing circuitry of an access point device, a common field of an ultra-high reliability (UHR) signal (UHR-SIG) content channel field, wherein the common field comprises signaling for multiple station devices;
• generating, by the processing circuitry, a number of spatial streams (NSS) subfield of a user specific field of the UHR-SIG content channel field, wherein the user specific field is addressed to a first station device of the multiple station devices;
• generating, by the processing circuitry, a 6-bit modulation and coding scheme (MCS) subfield of the user specific field, wherein the 6-bit MCS subfield maps, based on a number of spatial streams signaled by the NSS subfield, to one or more MCSs assigned to the first station device;
• generating, by the processing circuitry, a frame comprising the UHR-SIG content channel field, wherein a user field of the user specific field comprises at least 22 bits comprising the MCS subfield;
• and
• causing to send, by the processing circuitry, the frame.
