    摘要: A communication device receives a physical layer (PHY) protocol data unit (PPDU). The PPDU includes i) a PHY preamble and ii) PHY data portion that includes one or more PHY midambles, and the PHY preamble includes i) an indication of a length of the PPDU, and ii) an indication of a periodicity of PHY midambles in the PHY data portion. The communication device calculates a number of PHY midambles in the PPDU using i) the indication of the length of the PPDU, and ii) the indication of the periodicity of PHY midambles. The communication device calculates a reception time for the PPDU using the calculated number of PHY midambles, and processes the PPDU using the calculated reception time.

    摘要: A communication device stores a master rate table, which comprises a plurality of rows that correspond to i) respective data rates, and ii) respective sets of communication parameter values corresponding to the respective sets of data rates. Each set of communication parameter values includes i) a default value of a parameter, and iii) one or more alternative values of the parameter. When the communication device determines that a new transmission rate should be used, and when a current set of communication parameter values corresponds to a row in the master rate table and includes the default value, the communication device selects a trial set of communication parameter values corresponding to the row of the master rate table, and including one of the alternative values. The communication device measures an error rate measure corresponding to use of the trial set of communication parameter values.

    摘要: A method for Wireless Local-Area Network (WLAN) communication in a WLAN device includes receiving from a remote WLAN device an announcement of a maximal Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request (HARQ) buffering capability of a receiver of the remote WLAN device. A HARQ Physical-layer Protocol Data Unit (HARQ PPDU), which includes one or more HARQ coding units, is constructed in the WLAN device in response to the announcement. The HARQ PPDU is transmitted from the WLAN device to the remote WLAN device. One or more of the HARQ coding units are retransmitted in response to a request from the remote WLAN device.

    摘要: A method for Wireless Local-Area Network (WLAN) communication in a WLAN device includes generating a WLAN transmission including first bits, by at least (i) encoding the first bits with a Forward Error Correction (FEC) code to produce first encoded bits, and (ii) scrambling the first encoded bits with a first scrambling sequence. The WLAN transmission is transmitted from the WLAN device to a remote WLAN device. In response to receiving from the remote WLAN device an indication that reception of the WLAN transmission has failed, a WLAN retransmission including second bits is generated. Generating the retransmission includes (i) obtaining second encoded bits, which include the second bits encoded with the FEC code, and (ii) scrambling the second encoded bits with a second scrambling sequence that is different from the first scrambling sequence. The WLAN retransmission is transmitted from the WLAN device to the remote WLAN device.
