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.
