As I already mentioned, it is very hard to help you without the code...

Yes, it is. And it's clearly stated. But for your convenience I can copy 
paste from the standard.

The encoding illustration goes through the following stages:
a) Generating the short training sequence section of the preamble;
b) Generating the long preamble sequence section of the preamble;
c) Generating the SIGNAL field bits;
d) Coding and interleaving the SIGNAL field bits;
e) Mapping the SIGNAL field into frequency domain;
f) Pilot insertion;
g) Transforming into time domain;
h) Delineating the data octet stream into a bit stream;
i) Prepending the SERVICE field and adding the pad bits, thus forming 
the DATA;
j) Scrambling and zeroing the tail bits;
k) Encoding the DATA with a convolutional encoder and puncturing;
l) Mapping into complex 16-QAM symbols;
m) Pilot insertion;
n) Transforming from frequency to time and adding a circular prefix;
o) Concatenating the OFDM symbols into a single, time-domain signal.
