The following MCSs are defined:
·
MCS14: BPSK + ½ rate coding + DCM + Dup
·
MCS15: BPSK + ½ rate coding + DCM
NOTE – These MCSs are only applicable to Nss = 1.

The followings are the requirements to support DCM+MCS0:
·
Mandatory in
o
RU 26, 52, 106, and 242 for 20 MHz-only STAs.
o
RU 26, 52, 106, 242, 484, and 996 for non 20 MHz-only STAs.
·
Conditional mandatory in
o
RU 2×996 when STA supports 160 MHz
o
RU 2×996 and 4×996 when STA supports 320 MHz
·
Optional in
o
MRU 52+26, 106+26, 484+242, 996+484, 996+484+242, and 3×996
·
Not supported in
o
MRU 2×996+484, 3×996+484

802.11be agrees to define a DUP mode for non-punctured 80 MHz, 160 MHz and 320 MHz PPDUs transmitted
to a single user, limited to {MCS0+DCM, Nss=1}.
·
80 DUP = 40 (RU 484) duplicated.
·
160 DUP = 80 (RU 996) duplicated.
·
320 DUP = 160 (RU 2×996) duplicated.
·
PAPR reduction scheme is TBD.
·
Additional diversity scheme is TBD.
·
This is an R1 feature.
The mode defined above is limited to 6 GHz.
·
NOTE – Whether to further limit this to LPI mode is TBD.
The duplication in the mode defined above is done only on the data tones of the payload portion and that EHT-STF/LTF
are based on the total BW.
In this mode,
·
For 80 MHz PPDU, the EHT-STF, EHT-LTF and pilot are same as transmitting both RU1 and RU2 of 484-tone RU.
·
For 160/320 MHz PPDU, the EHT-STF, EHT-LTF and pilot are same as the non-OFDMA 160/320 MHz PPDU.
PAPR reduction scheme is TBD.
NOTE –
pre-EHT modulated fields are TBD.

The PAPR reduction scheme for the DUP mode consists of flipping the sign of data tones only, as shown in red
as follows:
