Abstract:
A system and method for transmitting LDPC parameters is provided. In the method, an initial number of OFDM 0 symbols (Nsym init) is determined for a packet that is based on the number of information bits to be delivered in the packet. An STBC value is also determined. A number of extra symbols (Nsymext) value is generated based on the Nsyminit value, wherein a Nsym value is based on said Nsym init value and said Nsymext value. An Nldpc ext value is determined based on the STBC value and the Nsym_ext value for purposes of determining LDPC parameters associated with the packet IF - 110

Abstract:
A method and apparatus for improving the accuracy of a round trip time (RTT) estimate between a first device and a second device are disclosed. The method involves calculating an acknowledgement correction factor and a unicast correction factor. These correction factors are used to compensate for symbol boundary time errors resulting from multipath effects.
Abstract:
In a multiple-input, multiple-output system, the wireless node's receive chain demodulation function is enhanced to include phase tracking. Instead of performing phase tracking during the data symbols which is cumbersome for very high throughput wireless networks, the VHT Long Training Fields (LTFs) embedded in the preamble of a frame are used for phase tracking. Single stream pilot tones are added during the transmission of VHT-LTFs. This is exploited on the receive side to be able to estimate the channel using the pilot tones in the first set of the Long Training Fields. Second set of the Long Training Fields are then used to estimate the phase of the pilot tones using the estimated channel. The phase estimation so obtained is continuously applied to other received data tones throughout the VHT-LTFs of the data symbols. The phase errors due to PLL mismatches and phase noise are reduced at reception, leading to better signal to noise ratio for different levels of parts per million drift and offset in frequency. Further, MIMO channel estimation is more accurate, which improves the overall wireless network when this accurate MIMO channel estimation data participates in calibration and handshake between wireless nodes.
Abstract:
A first combination of frequency bands is selected for transmitting a first data packet, and a second, different combination of frequency bands is selected for transmitting a second data packet. A data stream is divided into a first set of data and a second set of data. The first set of data is allocated to the first combination of frequency bands, and the second set of data is allocated to the second combination of frequency bands.
