In a method for generating a physical layer (PHY) data unit for transmission via a communication channel, information bits to be included in the PHY data unit are encoded using a forward error correction (FEC) encoder. Also, the information bits are encoded according to a block coding scheme, where m copies of each bit are included in the information bits, and one or more bits in the m copies of each bit are flipped. The information bits are mapped to a plurality of constellation symbols, and a plurality of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbols are generated to include the plurality of constellation symbols. The PHY data unit is generated to include the plurality of OFDM symbols.

A length of a time period corresponding to reserving a communication channel is determined, where the length of the time period exceeds the length of a beacon frame. A beacon frame is generated, the beacon frame having a duration field. The duration field is set to a value corresponding to the length of the time period in order to reserve the communication channel for the time period, the length of the time period exceeding the length of the beacon frame. The beacon frame is then transmitted.

摘要:
A method for generating signals to be transmitted within a basic service set (BSS) channel, where a set of component channels is collectively coextensive with the BSS channel, includes determining that a first duplicate, in frequency, of a low bandwidth mode data unit will be located at an edge of the BSS channel. Each duplicate includes orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) tones and has a bandwidth less than the narrowest channel of the component channels. The OFDM tones in each duplicate include one or more data tones, one or more pilot tones, and one or more guard tones. The method also includes generating a transmission signal comprising the duplicates, at least in part by scaling down at least one data tone, and/or zeroing out at least one data tone, of the first duplicate in response to determining that the first duplicate will be located at an edge of the BSS channel.

A first plurality of training data units are transmitted via a plurality of antennas of a first station as part of a first transmit beamforming training procedure. Subsequently, a second plurality of training data units are received via the plurality of antennas as part of second transmit beamforming procedure while the first station applies a single receive antenna configuration. The second plurality of training data units includes an information element that specifies a feedback from a second station, the feedback including an identifier corresponding to one of the training data units in the first plurality of data units. The first station transmits a feedback message to the second station, that includes (i) one or more indicators of one or more training data units selected from the second plurality of training data units, and (ii) a request to perform a subsequent beamforming training procedure.
