AI summary

Various schemes pertaining to proportional round robin segment parser designs for the wider bandwidths and corresponding multi-resource unit (MRU) combinations with either equal modulation (EQM) or unequal modulation (UEQM) in wireless communications are described. An apparatus (e.g., an access point (AP) or a non-AP station (STA)) generates a multi-resource unit (MRU) comprising an aggregate of a plurality of resource units (RUS). The apparatus then transmits the MRU with UEQM or EQM in a bandwidth of 480 MHz or greater.
