A method for communicating a signaling field in a wireless communications system comprises transmitting, by a wireless device, a frame through a medium. Transmitting the frame includes transmitting a first portion of a signaling field in the frame using a first channel and transmitting a second portion of the signaling field in the frame using a second channel. The first channel includes a first frequency and the second channel includes a second frequency different from the first frequency. Contents of the first portion are different from contents of the second portion. In an embodiment, transmitting the frame further includes transmitting a third portion of the signaling field using a third channel. The third channel includes a third frequency different from the first and second frequencies. Contents of the third portion are different from the contents of each of the first and second portions.
