For example, an EDMG STA may generate an LDPC coded bit stream for a user based on data bits for the user in an EDMG PPDU, the LDPC coded bit stream for the user including a concatenation of a plurality of LDPC codewords, a count of the plurality of LDPC codewords is based at least on a codeword length for the user and on a code rate for the user; generate encoded and padded bits for the user by concatenating the LDPC coded bit stream with a plurality of coded pad zero bits, a count of the coded pad zero bits is based at least on a count of one or more spatial streams for the user and on the count of the plurality of LDPC codewords for the user; and distribute the encoded and padded bits for the user to the one or more spatial streams for the user.
