    摘要: At least a portion of a physical layer (PHY) preamble of a PHY protocol data unit (PPDU) for transmission in a vehicular communication network is generated to span a first bandwidth a) based on a first orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) numerology that is defined for a second bandwidth greater than the first bandwidth and b) down-clocked to generate the at least the portion to span the first bandwidth. The at least the portion includes a legacy portion decodable by a legacy device operating in the network. A data portion is generated based on a second OFDM numerology defined to span the second bandwidth. The PPDU is generated to include the at least the legacy portion of the PHY preamble in a first sub-band, a duplicate of the at least the portion of the preamble in a second sub-band, and the data portion that spans the second bandwidth.

    摘要: A communication device performs a first backoff operation with a first backoff counter to determine when to transmit a first packet in a first frequency, and performs a second backoff operation with a second backoff counter to determine when to transmit a second packet in a second frequency segment. In connection with the first backoff counter expiring, the communication device transmits the first packet in the first frequency segment. In connection with the second backoff counter expiring, the communication device transmits the second packet in the second frequency segment simultaneously with transmitting the first packet in the first frequency segment. In response to determining that transmission of the first packet in the first frequency segment failed, the communication device increases a first contention window for a retransmission of the first packet, and does not adjust the second contention window for a next transmission in the second frequency segment.

    摘要: A wireless communication device generates physical layer (PHY) protocol service data units (PSDUs), and, in response to determining that the PHY data unit is to be transmitted according to a HARQ process, generates HARQ coding units of a common length, each of the HARQ coding units including a respective set of one or more PSDUs, and individually encodes the HARQ coding units. The wireless communication device also generates a HARQ signal field to the included in a PHY preamble of the PHY data unit. The HARQ signal field includes i) a common information subfield to indicate one or more parameters that commonly apply to each of at least some of the one or more HARQ coding units and ii) a respective HARQ coding unit information subfield for each of the HARQ coding units to indicate one or more parameters that apply to only the corresponding HARQ coding unit.

    摘要: In a vehicular communication network, a communication device generates a physical layer (PHY) preamble of a PHY protocol data unit (PPDU) for transmission in the vehicular communication network. The communication device generates a plurality of PHY data segments of the PPDU, and one or more PHY midambles, each PHY midamble to be transmitted between a respective pair of adjacent PHY data segments, and each PHY midamble including one or more training signal fields. Generating the one or more PHY midambles includes, when the PPDU is to be transmitted according to an extended range (ER) mode, generating each training signal field to include i) a first portion based on a very high throughput long training field (VHT-LTF) defined by the IEEE 802.11ac Standard and ii) a second portion based on the VHT-LTF defined by the IEEE 802.11ac Standard; and transmitting, by the communication device, the PPDU in the vehicular communication network.

    摘要: A communication device generates a first packet and a second packet. The first packet includes a first physical layer (PHY) preamble having: a first legacy signal field (L-SIG) having first duration information that indicates a first duration of the first packet; and first non-legacy signal field information having first modulation information that indicates a first modulation used in the first packet. The second packet includes a second PHY preamble having: a second L-SIG having second duration information that indicates a second duration of the second packet, wherein the second duration is different than the first duration; and second non-legacy signal field information having second modulation information that indicates a second modulation used in the second packet, wherein the second modulation is different than the first modulation. The communication device simultaneously transmits the first packet in a first frequency segment and the second packet in a second frequency segment.

The communication device generates a second packet for transmission in a second frequency segment, and generates a second PHY preamble of the second packet to include a second field that indicates a second overall bandwidth that the second packet spans. The communication device transmits the first packet in the first frequency segment beginning at a first time, and simultaneously transmits the second packet in the second frequency segment beginning at a second time that is different than the first time.

    摘要: A communication device selects a frequency bandwidth via which a physical layer (PHY) protocol data unit (PPDU) will be transmitted in a vehicular communication network, and generates, the PPDU i) according to a downclocking ratio of 1/2, and ii) based on an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) numerology defined by an IEEE 802.11ac Standard. In response to the selected frequency bandwidth being 10 MHz, the PPDU is generated according to the downclocking ratio of 1/2 and based on the OFDM numerology defined by the IEEE 802.11ac Standard for 20 MHz PPDUs. In response to the selected frequency bandwidth being 20 MHz, the PPDU is generated according to the downclocking ratio of 1/2 and based on the OFDM numerology defined by the IEEE 802.11ac Standard for 40 MHz PPDUs.
