6 . The device of claim 1 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to execute the computer-executable instructions to identify a block acknowledgment received from the first device.

7 . The device of claim 6 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to execute the computer-executable instructions to determine if the first MPDU is received by the first device based at least in part on the block acknowledgment.

8 . The device of claim 3 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to execute the computer-executable instructions to:

cause to send the first MPDU using an average MCS value offset by a first adjustment associated with the first subband; and

cause to send the second MPDU using the average MCS value offset by a second adjustment associated with the second subband.

9 . The device of claim 7 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to execute the computer-executable instructions to:

encode a first header-B field for transmission over the first subband; and

encode a second header-B field for transmission over the second subband, wherein the first header-B field includes the first MCS, and wherein the second header-B field includes the second MCS.

10 . The device of claim 1 , further comprising a transceiver configured to transmit and receive wireless signals.

11 . The device of claim 10 , further comprising one or more antennas coupled to the transceiver.

12 . A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing computer-executable instructions which when executed by one or more processors result in performing operations comprising:

identifying a first MPDU received from a device on a first subband;

identifying a second MPDU received from the device on a second subband;

determining a block acknowledgment frame including at least in part an indication of the first MPDU or the second MPDU; and

causing the block acknowledgment to be wirelessly transmitted to the device.

13 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 11 , wherein the first MPDU is transmitted using a first physical layer (PHY) chain of the device, and the second MPDU is transmitted using a second PHY chain of the device.

14 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 11 , wherein the first MPDU includes at least in part a first header-A field and a first header-B field.

17 . A method comprising:

determining, by one or more processors, a first subband and a second subband of a frequency band associated with a communication channel established with a device;

allocating a first media access control protocol data unit (MPDU) to the first subband;

allocating a second MPDU to the second subband;

causing the first MPDU to be wirelessly transmitted to the device over the communication channel using a first modulation and coding scheme (MCS) value associated with the first subband; and
