Abstract:
A communication technique for conveying configuration information in a preamble in a frame is described. In this communication technique, an access point may receive a frame from a transmitting electronic device in a wireless local area network (WLAN) with media-access-control (MAC) information in a preamble and at least a packet as a payload. The MAC information may be communicated from a MAC layer to a physical layer in an interface circuit in the access point. Moreover, the MAC information may include an identifier of the receiving electronic device. Based on the identifier, the access point may select a receive antenna pattern for use when receiving the payload.

Abstract:
A wireless communication terminal includes an antenna selecting unit that selects, for each packet, an antenna for use in receiving signals from among a plurality of a plurality of antennas; a packet-destination judging unit that judges whether a packet obtained by demodulating a signal received by the receiving antenna selected by the antenna selecting unit is destined for the wireless communication terminal; and a stand-by-antenna determining unit that determines a stand-by antenna for use in receiving a packet to be received next based on a result of selection made by the antenna selecting unit and a result of judgment made by the packet-destination judging unit.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for antenna switching diversity comprising: identifying the start of an OFDM symbol period; switching from an original antenna to an alternative antenna; calculating a signal quality metric associated with the original antenna and the alternative antenna; and selecting either the original antenna or the alternative antenna for demodulation of a current OFDM symbol based on the calculated signal quality metric. In one aspect, the antenna switching diversity is based on either symbol rate switching or block rate switching, and a selection of one or the other is made.

Abstract:
In a data transmission system, a transmitter adds control data to transmission data, and modulates the resultant signal by a predetermined modulation method, and sends the result in a wireless manner. A receiver detects a reception power intensity by use of the control data contained in the transmitted signal. The control data includes a reception-power detection portion having a wide spectrum signal whose period is longer than the maximum delay of a delayed wave as prescribed in the channel model of the wireless communication system, said wide spectrum signal being used for detecting reception power intensity.
