摘要:
A preamble of a physical layer (PHY) data unit that conforms to a first communication protocol is generated. The preamble includes a legacy field that is formatted according to a second communication protocol, and a signal field having a first orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbol and a second OFDM symbol. The first OFDM symbol (i) immediately follows the legacy field and (ii) is modulated using binary phase shift keying (BPSK) modulation, whereas a third communication protocol specifies that an OFDM symbol, defined by the third communication protocol, that immediately follows the legacy field is modulated using BPSK modulation rotated by 90 degrees (Q-BPSK). The second OFDM symbol (i) immediately follows the first OFDM symbol and (ii) is modulated using Q-BPSK to indicate to a receiver device that conforms to the first communication protocol that the data unit conforms to the first communication protocol.
摘要:
A first communication device transmits one or more first communication frames during a transmit opportunity period (TXOP) of the first communication device via a first composite channel. A control frame is generated, wherein the control frame includes information indicating a bandwidth of the first composite channel. After the one or more first communication frames have been transmitted, the first communication device transmits, during the TXOP, the control frame via the first composite channel. Information from a response frame that indicates a bandwidth of a second composite communication channel is extracted, the response frame having been transmitted by a second communication device and received by the first communication device during the TXOP. The first communication device transmits one or more second communication frames during the TXOP, wherein the one or more communication frames span the second composite communication channel and do not span the entire first composite communication channel.

Channel data for a plurality of OFDM tones for one or more spatial or space-time streams are determined. A plurality of angle values associated with the one or more spatial or space-time streams and the one or more OFDM tones of the plurality of OFDM tones are determined. For each of the one or more spatial or space time streams, a per-tone signal to noise ratio (PT-SNR) associated with one or more OFDM tone of the plurality of OFDM tones is determined, and an average signal to noise ratio (avg-SNR) is determined by averaging signal to noise ratio (SNR) values corresponding to one or more OFDM tones of the plurality of OFDM tones. A feedback report is generated to include at least i) the plurality of angle values, ii) the PT-SNRs, and iii) the avg-SNR.
