A communication device generates a legacy portion of a physical layer (PHY) preamble of a PHY data unit. The legacy portion includes a plurality of legacy training fields and a legacy signal field that indicates a duration of the PHY data unit. The communication device generates a non-legacy portion of the PHY preamble to include a multi-bit signal field header to indicate a packet type of the PHY data unit from among a plurality of packet types defined by a wireless communication protocol, the plurality of packet types corresponding to a plurality of non-legacy signal field formats. The communication device generates a non-legacy portion of the PHY preamble to also include a non-legacy signal field having a field format i) selected from the plurality of non-legacy signal field formats and ii) consistent with the packet type indicated by the multi-bit signal field header.

The present disclosure describes methods and apparatuses for phase-based cyclic redundancy check (CRC) verification for wireless communication. In some aspects, a soft phase value and a sliced phase value are received for a symbol of a data packet, the data packet received via a wireless interface. An error measurement is determined for the symbol based on the soft phase value and the sliced phase value. The error measurement for the symbol is then compared to an error measurement threshold for detecting symbol-level errors in the data packet. Based on the error measurement exceeding an error measurement threshold, a bit error can be detected in the data packet, which may have passed CRC. By detecting the bit error despite a CRC pass, the bit error can be indicated to higher-level entity of the wireless interface. This can be effective to prevent the bit error from impairing operation of the higher-level entity.

A bit pattern is received and mapped to integer real and imaginary coordinates of one of the M constellation points according to a mapping rule of the integer NUC M-QAM. A transmission signal is modulated in accordance with the integer real and imaginary coordinates of the one of the M constellation points of the integer NUC M-QAM.

A method of calibrating analog transceiver delay includes generating a signal in a portion of a first device to arrive at a first known time at analog transmit circuitry of the first device, transmitting the signal from the analog transmit circuitry of the first device, receiving the transmitted signal, and deriving transceiver delay from the received signal. The transmitting may be performed via a closed loop to analog receiver circuitry of the first device, detecting the signal at a second known time at an output of the analog receiver circuitry of the first device. The transmitting also may be performed wirelessly to receiver circuitry of a second device placed at a predetermined distance from the first device, detecting the received signal at a second known time at the receiver circuitry of the second device. Transceiver delay can be determined from transit time and apportioned between transmit delay and receive delay.

In a method for beamforming in a multiple input multiple output (MIMO) communication system, a data unit from a second communication device is received at a first communication device via a MIMO communication channel. Training signals in the data unit are buffered in a memory of the first communication device, wherein buffering assumes that the data unit spans a bandwidth greater than a maximum bandwidth of a legacy first communication protocol. The first communication device determines whether the data unit is formatted according to a duplication mode in which a bandwidth portion of the data unit conforms to the legacy first communication protocol. If it is determined that the data unit is formatted according to the duplication mode, the first communication device utilizes a transmit beamforming matrix generated using the training signals buffered assuming that the data unit spans the bandwidth greater than the maximum bandwidth of the legacy first communication protocol.

In generating a data unit for transmission via a communication channel, a preamble of the data unit is generated, including i) generating a set of training fields, and ii) mapping each training field in the set of training fields to a plurality of space-time streams. When the set of training fields consist of four training fields, each training field in the set of training fields is mapped to four space-time streams according to a first space-time stream mapping matrix. When the set of training fields consists of six training fields, each training field in the set of training fields is mapped to six space-time streams according to a second space-time stream mapping matrix, wherein the first space-time stream mapping matrix is not a submatrix of the second space-time stream mapping matrix. A data portion of the data unit is generated so that a receiver device can receive the data portion via a corresponding number of space-time streams using channel information derived from the set of training fields.

摘要:
A first sounding packet is transmitted from the wireless communication device to a calibration station. A first channel descriptor is generated based on the first sounding packet. A second sounding packet is transmitted from the calibration station to the wireless communication device. A second channel descriptor is generated based on the second sounding packet. The first channel descriptor and the second channel descriptor are obtained at a processor device. Calibration coefficients indicative of one or both of phase imbalance and amplitude imbalance between a receive radio frequency (RF) chain and a transmit RF chain at the wireless communication device are generated based on the first and the second channel descriptors. The calibration coefficients are sent from the processor device to the wireless communication device.

摘要:
In a method for detecting a packet type of an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) data unit detected in a communication channel, a first estimate and a second estimate of a transmitted symbol are determined for each of at least some of a plurality of OFDM tones in an OFDM symbol of the data unit. A first distance and a second distance are determined between a received symbol and, respectively, the first estimate and the second estimate scaled by a channel response estimate corresponding to the OFDM tone. A first total distance is determined based on a mathematical summation of the first distances over the plurality of OFDM tones. A second total distance is determined based on a mathematical summation of the second distances over the plurality of OFDM tones. The packet type is determined based at least on the first total distance and the second total distance.
