Abstract:
A communication device having a Media Access Control (MAC) layer and a physical (PHY) layer may include a first physical channel for transferring at least one packet between the PHY layer and the MAC layer. The communication device may further include a second physical channel for transferring, to a transmitting device, a first table that indicates a number of bits to be loaded onto each of a plurality of tones and a second table that indicates a transmission power for the plurality of tones. The PHY layer may receive the at least one packet from the transmitting device over the plurality of tones and may transfer the at least one packet to the MAC layer via the first physical channel.

Abstract:
Systems and methods for increasing preambles are provided. In some aspects, an electronic device configured for use as a node in a home network is provided. The electronic device includes a preamble generator configured to generate an outbound preamble for a data signal. The electronic device also includes a preamble increasing circuit configured to increase a size of the outbound preamble based on a switching signal.
