Abstract
The present technique relates to a wireless communication device and a wireless communication method for enabling acquisition of control information even when a preamble signal cannot be acquired. The wireless communication device includes an OFDM signal generation section that generates an OFDM signal in which at least one of plural resource units obtained by channel band division is set as a control information resource unit for transmitting control information. The present technique is, for example, applicable to a wireless communication device, etc. that performs wireless communication conforming to a standard such as IEEE 802.11.
Claims18
A wireless communication device comprising:
- a transmitter;
- and
- OFDM signal generation circuitry that generates an OFDM signal in which at least one of plural resource units obtained by channel band division is set as a control information resource unit for transmitting control information,
- wherein the OFDM signal generation circuitry generates the OFDM signal such that, in a case where a position of the control information resource unit among the plural resource units is different, different BSSs are used.
A wireless communication method comprising:
- generating, by a wireless communication device, an OFDM signal in which at least one of plural resource units obtained by channel band division is set as a control information resource unit for transmitting control information,
- wherein the OFDM signal is set such that, in a case where a position of the control information resource unit among the plural resource units is different, different BSSs are used;
- and
- transmitting the OFDM signal.
A wireless communication device comprising:
- reception circuitry that receives an OFDM signal in which at least one of plural resource units obtained by channel band division is set as a control information resource unit for transmitting control information,
- wherein the OFDM signal is set such that, in a case where a position of the control information resource unit among the plural resource units is different, different BSSs are used;
- and
- a demodulator that demodulates the OFDM signal.
A wireless communication method comprising:
- receiving, by a wireless communication device, an OFDM signal in which at least one of plural resource units obtained by channel band division is set as a control information resource unit for transmitting control information,
- wherein the OFDM signal is set such that, in a case where a position of the control information resource unit among the plural resource units is different, different BSSs are used;
- and
- demodulating the OFDM signal.
