OFDMA communications for multiple capability wireless communication devices

A wireless communication device comprising:

• a communication interface;
• and
• a processor configured to:
• generate an orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) packet that includes first at least one field and first data intended for first other wireless communication device and second at least one field and second data intended for second other wireless communication device;
• transmit, via the communication interface, the first at least one field of the OFDMA packet via first channel;
• and
• transmit, via the communication interface, the second at least one field of the OFDMA packet via second channel after at least one of the first at least one field has been transmitted;
• and
• transmit, via the communication interface, the first data for the first other wireless communication device via the first channel after the first at least one field has been transmitted and simultaneously transmit at least a portion of the second data for the second other wireless communication device via the second channel.

A method for execution by a wireless communication device, the method comprising:

• generating an orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) packet that includes first at least one field intended for first other wireless communication device and second at least one field intended for second other wireless communication device;
• transmitting, via a communication interface of the wireless communication device, the first at least one field of the OFDMA packet via first channel;
• and
• transmitting, via the communication interface, the second at least one field of the OFDMA packet via second channel after at least one of the first at least one field has been transmitted while simultaneously transmitting at least one other field via the first channel.
