A station (STA) configured for operation in a wireless local area network (WLAN) may implement an unequal Modulation and Coding Scheme (MCS) for Probabilistic Constellation Shaping using first and second shaping encoders. The first shaping encoder may encode a first segment of input bits for a first modulation order and generate a first shaped bit stream and the second shaping encoder may encode a second segment of input bits for a second modulation order to generate a second shaped bit stream. A first QAM symbol stream may be generated at least from the first shaped bit stream and from parity bits using the first modulation order and a second QAM symbol stream may be generated at least from the second shaped bit stream and from parity bits using the second modulation order. The STA may generate the parity bits from the first and second shaped bit streams with one or more LDPC encoders and may transmit the first and second QAM symbol streams within a PPDU.
