    Abstract: Methods, apparatuses, computer readable media for multi-user (MU) request-to-send (RTS) and clear-to-send (CTS) with null data packet (NDP) CTSs and response polling. An apparatus of a wireless device comprising processing circuitry is disclosed. The processing circuitry may be configured to encode a MU-RTS including station identifications and indications of 20 MHz channels for the stations to transmit CTSs. The processing circuitry may be configured to configure the access point to transmit the MU-RTS. The processing circuitry may be configured to encode a trigger frame for polling, the trigger frame including the station identifications and indications of short feedback resource units for the stations identified by the station identifications. The processing circuitry may be configured to decode short feedback from the stations in accordance with the short feedback resource units where the short feedback is in response to the trigger frame for polling and the MU-RTS.

    Abstract: Methods, computer readable media, and apparatuses for padding and decoding coding for a HE-SIG-B field are disclosed. An apparatus of an access point or station is disclosed. The apparatus is configured to determine a number of symbols of a longest high-efficiency signal B (HE-SIG-B) field of a plurality of HE-SIG-B fields. The processing circuitry may be further configured to encode a plurality of HE-SIG A fields to comprise a number of symbols of a longest HE-SIG-B field of the plurality of HE-SIG-B fields each HE-SIG-A field. The processing circuitry may be further configured to encode each of the HE-SIG-B fields of the plurality of HE-SIG-B fields to comprise a common block and a number of user blocks, and if a number of symbols to encode the common block and the number of user blocks is less than the number of symbols of the longest HE-SIG-B field, encode a duplicate portion.
