Abstract
A wireless network uses an improved frame structure to increase timing acquisition capabilities as well as reduction of spectral lines. In one aspect, the frame packet can be used to communicate the different modes of operation under which the packet was created.
Claims17
A method for wireless communication comprising:
- generating a packet that comprises a first portion and a second portion separated by a delimiter, wherein the delimiter is further used to signal a characteristic of the second portion and comprises a plurality of symbols indicating:
- a rate of transmission of at least a header of the packet;
- and
- a modulation and coding scheme of the header of the packet;
- transmitting the packet;
- and
- wherein the delimiter is based on one of length-128 complementary Colay codes.

A communication apparatus comprising:
- means for generating a packet that comprises a first portion and a second portion separated by a delimiter, wherein the delimiter is further used to signal a characteristic of the second portion and comprises a plurality of symbols indicating:
- a rate of transmission of at least a header of the packet;
- and
- a modulation and coding scheme of the header of the packet;
- means for transmitting the packet;
- and
- wherein the delimiter is based on one of length-128 complementary Colay codes.
4 more elements
A communication apparatus comprising:
- a packet generator configured to generate a packet that comprises a first portion and a second portion separated by a delimiter, wherein the delimiter is further used to signal a characteristic of the second portion and comprises a plurality of symbols indicating:
- a rate of transmission of at least a header of the packet;
- and
- a modulation and coding scheme of the header of the packet;
- a transmitter configured to transmit the packet;
- and
- wherein the delimiter is based on one of length-128 complementary Colay codes.
4 more elements
A computer-program product for communications comprising:
- a computer-readable storage device encoded with instructions executable to:
- generate a packet that comprises a first portion and a second portion separated by a delimiter, wherein the delimiter is further used to signal a characteristic of the second portion and comprises a plurality of symbols indicating:
- a rate of transmission of at least a header of the packet;
- and
- a modulation and coding scheme of the header of the packet;
- transmit the packet;
- and
- wherein the delimiter is based on one of length-128 complementary Colay codes.
5 more elements
A wireless device comprising:
- an antenna;
- a packet generator configured to generate a packet that comprises a first portion and a second portion separated by a delimiter, wherein the delimiter is further used to signal a characteristic of the second portion and comprises a plurality of symbols indicating:
- a rate of transmission of at least a header of the packet;
- and
- a modulation and coding scheme of the header of the packet;
- a transmitter configured to transmit, via the antenna, the packet;
- and
- wherein the delimiter is based on one of length-128 complementary Colay codes.
