Example systems, methods, and devices for efficient indication of bandwidth and stream allocation are discussed. In one embodiment, a method for indication of bandwidth allocation in a wireless network can include partitioning, by a network device, a bandwidth of a wireless signal into a plurality of subband units, assigning one or more switch bits between adjacent subband units, and allocating one or more modified subband units to one or more users of the network. In another embodiment, a method for stream allocation can include partitioning, by a network device, a spatial stream of a wireless signal into a plurality of spatial streams, assigning one or more switch bits between adjacent spatial streams, and allocating one or more modified spatial streams to one or more users of the network. Certain methods, apparatus, and systems described herein can be applied to 802.11ax or any other wireless standard.
