Abstract
A method is provided for detection and synchronization for a multistation wireless communication system (WiFi) implementing a layer, termed the MAC or Medium Access Control layer, provided for implementing a multiple access protocol and a physical layer, termed the PHY or Physical Layer, provided for achieving synchronization and detection functions, the MAC layer transmitting commands to the PHY layer so as to carry out the multiple access protocol and the PHY layer generating in response at least one waveform carrying synchronization signals and detection signals, the MAC layer implements an orthogonal or quasi-orthogonal cyclic signal to construct the at least one waveform.
Claims14
A method of synchronization and detection for a multi-station wireless communication system (WiFi), the method comprising:
- providing a wireless communication network including a plurality of stations;
- providing a Medium Access Control (MAC) layer that is configured for managing transmission and reception of data packets between the plurality of stations, and implementing a multiple access protocol;
- providing a Physical Layer known as Physical (PHY) layer that is configured for synchronizing and detecting a presence of a specific waveform;
- transmitting commands from the MAC layer to the PHY layer for realizing said multiple-access protocol;
- generating at least one waveform by the PHY layer in response to the commands received from the MAC layer, said at least one waveform carrying synchronization signals and detection signals between the plurality of stations of the multi-station wireless communication system,
- utilizing one of an orthogonal or quasi-orthogonal cyclic signal for constructing said at least one waveform.
