Abstract
Messages transmitted between a receiver and a transmitter are used to maximize a communication data rate. In particular, a multicarrier modulation system uses messages that are sent from the receiver to the transmitter to exchange one or more sets of optimized communication parameters. The transmitter then stores these communication parameters and when transmitting to that particular receiver, the transmitter utilizes the stored parameters in an effort to maximize the data rate to that receiver. Likewise, when the receiver receives packets from that particular transmitter, the receiver can utilize the stored communication parameters for reception.
Claims8
A method for multicarrier communication in a packet-based local area network comprising:
- transmitting or receiving a first packet using a first cyclic prefix length for a data portion of the first packet;
- and
- transmitting or receiving a second packet using a second cyclic prefix length for a data portion of the second packet, wherein the first cyclic prefix length is different than the second cyclic prefix length.
A method for multicarrier communication in a packet-based local area network comprising:
- transmitting or receiving a first packet using a first pilot tone allocation for a data portion of the first packet;
- transmitting or receiving a second packet using a second pilot tone allocation for a data portion of the second packet, wherein the first pilot tone allocation is different than the second pilot tone allocation.
A multicarrier transceiver in a packet-based local area network capable of transmitting or receiving a first packet using a first cyclic prefix length for a data portion of the first packet and capable of transmitting or receiving a second packet using a second cyclic prefix length for a data portion of the second packet, wherein the first cyclic prefix length is different than the second cyclic prefix length.
A multicarrier transceiver in a packet-based local area network capable of transmitting or receiving a first packet using a first pilot tone allocation for a data portion of the first packet and capable of transmitting or receiving a second packet using a second pilot tone allocation for a data portion of the second packet, wherein the first pilot tone allocation is different than the second pilot tone allocation.
