Frame formatting for communications within single user, multiple user, multiple access, and/or MIMO wireless communications

A wireless communication device comprising:

• a communication interface;
• and
• a processor, at least one of the processor or the communication interface configured to:
• receive a first signal from another wireless communication device via a communication channel having a channel bandwidth;
• process the first signal to extract a first packet therefrom, wherein the first packet includes a first at least one orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbol that has a first length;
• downclock a first portion of the first packet using a first down clocking factor and downclock a second portion of the first packet using a second down clocking factor to generate a first downclocked packet;
• receive a second signal from the another wireless communication device via the communication channel having the channel bandwidth;
• process the second signal to extract a second packet therefrom, wherein the second packet includes a second at least one OFDM symbol that has a second length;
• and
• downclock a first portion of the second packet using a third down clocking factor and downclock a second portion of the second packet using a fourth down clocking factor to generate a second downclocked packet.

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

• receiving, via a communication interface of the wireless communication device, a first signal from another wireless communication device via a communication channel having a channel bandwidth;
• processing the first signal to extract a first packet therefrom, wherein the first packet includes a first at least one orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbol that has a first length;
• downclocking a first portion of the first packet using a first down clocking factor and downclocking a second portion of the first packet using a second down clocking factor to generate a first downclocked packet;
• receiving, via the communication interface of the wireless communication device, a second signal from the another wireless communication device via the communication channel having the channel bandwidth;
• processing the second signal to extract a second packet therefrom, wherein the second packet includes a second at least one OFDM symbol that has a second length;
• and
• downclocking a first portion of the second packet using a third down clocking factor and downclocking a second portion of the second packet using a fourth down clocking factor to generate a second downclocked packet.
