摘要:
A method for generating a beamforming training (BFT) unit includes generating a physical layer (PHY) preamble of the BFT unit and generating a first encoding block and a second encoding block using PHY data and MAC data, including at least one of i) using a number of padding bits in a PHY layer of the BFT unit such that the BFT unit consists of the PHY preamble, the first encoding block, and the second encoding block, and ii) generating a MAC protocol data unit (MPDU) having a length such that the BFT unit consists of the PHY preamble, the first encoding block, and the second encoding block.
摘要:
In a wireless communication system wherein communication devices exchange information utilizing data units that conform to a first format, a beamforming training (BFT) data unit that conforms to a second format is transmitted, wherein a length of the BFT data unit is shorter than lengths supported by the first format, wherein the BFT data unit is for transmitting PHY beamforming training information. Information to indicate the BFT data unit conforms to the second format is transmitted to a receiving device. The BFT data unit is generated according to the second format, wherein the BFT data unit includes BFT information elements. The BFT data unit is then transmitted to the receiving device.

摘要:
In a wireless communication system where communication devices utilize physical layer (PHY) data units that conform to a first format to communicate information associated with a layer of a protocol stack above a media access channel (MAC) layer, where the first format is associated with a first number of symbols in a preamble, a method for generating a PHY data unit that conforms to a second format includes generating a preamble of the PHY data unit, where the preamble includes a second number of symbols, wherein the second number is smaller than the first number; and generating another portion of the PHY data unit.
摘要:
In a method for generating a physical layer (PHY) data unit for transmission via a communication channel, first data and second data that correspond to a unit of audio, video, and/or image information is received. The first data and the second data are encoded and modulated so that a resulting data rate of the first data is less than a resulting data rate of the second data. The first data and the second data are parsed to a plurality of spatial streams, and a single PHY data unit that includes the plurality of spatial streams is generated.
