Abstract:
A method is provided for transmitting data in a wireless local area network. A transmitter generates an encoded data unit by performing a channel coding to transmission data to be included in a data field of a physical layer protocol data unit (PPDU). The transmitter generates at least one spatial block by re-arranging the encoded data unit, and divides each spatial block of at least one spatial block into two frequency segments. A bandwidth of each frequency segment is half of a bandwidth of the each spatial block. The transmitter interleaves the two frequency segments to generate a first interleaved segment and a second interleaved segment, respectively, and generates first and second mapped sequences by respectively mapping the first and second interleaved segments into a signal constellation. The transmitter performs an Inverse Discrete Fourier Transform (IDFT) on the first and second mapped sequences to generate and transmit a transmission signal.

A method and a station are described for transmitting a data frame in a wireless local area network (WLAN). The station obtains a transmission opportunity (TXOP) and transmits, during the TXOP, a preceding data unit of a plurality of data units comprising a control field indicating a selected bandwidth for the preceding data unit.

The available bandwidth parameters include a first available bandwidth parameter which is same as a transmit bandwidth parameter of the preceding data unit of the plurality of data units and a second available bandwidth parameter which is narrower than a transmit bandwidth parameter of the preceding data unit. The station transmits, during the TXOP, the non-initial data unit, which comprises a control field indicating a selected bandwidth for the non-initial data unit.
