Device and method for transmitting long training sequence for wireless communications
View Patent ↗A device and method transmits a frame of a wireless communication. The frame includes a preamble that includes a short training sequence and a long training sequence. The long training sequence includes non-zero energy on each of a plurality of subcarriers except a DC subcarrier. A frequency domain window is inserted into the long training sequence to stimulate the subcarriers for channel estimation.
1. A method for transmitting a preamble for a frame of a wireless communication, the method comprising:
generating a first training sequence for a preamble of a frame;
inserting a frequency domain window into said first training sequence; and
stimulating a set of subcarriers with said frequency domain window during long training.
2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising generating a second training sequence for said preamble.
3. The method of claim 2 , further comprising determining said second training sequence is different than said first training sequence, wherein said frequency domain window is inserted into said first training sequence of said preamble.
4. The method of claim 2 , further comprising stimulating another set of subcarriers with said second training sequence, wherein said another set of subcarriers is smaller than said set of subcarriers.
5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising generating a set up portion of said preamble including said first training sequence.
6. The method of claim 2 , further comprising generating a set up portion of said preamble including said first training sequence and said second training sequence.
7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising estimating a channel using said first training sequence and said set of subcarriers.
8. The method of claim 1 , further comprising transmitting said preamble over a plurality of transmitters.
9. The method of claim 1 , further comprising receiving said preamble over a plurality of receivers.
10. A method for generating a preamble of a frame for wireless communication, the method comprising:
receiving a training sequence for a preamble;
determining said training sequence comprises a first training sequence; and
inserting a frequency domain window into said first training sequence.
11. The method of claim 10 , further comprising stimulating subcarriers to estimate a channel for said wireless communication with said first training sequence.
12. The method of claim 10 , further comprising determining said training sequence includes a second training sequence.
13. The method of claim 10 , further comprising transmitting said first training sequence with said frequency domain window.
14. A method for stimulating subcarriers in an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing system, the method including inserting a frequency domain window into a first training sequence of a preamble, wherein said first training sequence stimulates said subcarriers.
15. The method of claim 14 , further comprising stimulating a subset of said subcarriers with a second training sequence in said preamble.
16. A device for transmitting a frame in a wireless system, the device comprising:
a signal generator to generate a preamble for a frame;
a multiplexer to insert a frequency domain window into a first training sequence within said preamble;
an IFFT module to convert said frame with said preamble to a time domain signal; and
a plurality of antennas to transmit said frame.
17. The device of claim 16 , further comprising subcarriers of said frame, wherein said first training sequence stimulate said subcarriers with said frequency domain signal.
18. The device of claim 17 , further comprising a symbol mapper to map coded bits to said subcarriers.
19. The device of claim 16 , wherein said preamble includes a second training sequence along with said first training sequence.
20. A system comprising:
generating means for generating a training sequence for a preamble of a frame;
inserting means for inserting a frequency domain window into said training sequence; and
stimulating means for stimulating a set of subcarriers with said frequency domain window during long training.
21. A system comprising:
receiving means for receiving a training sequence for a preamble;
determining means for determining said training sequence includes a first training sequence; and
inserting means for inserting a frequency domain window into said first training sequence.
22. The system of claim 21 , further comprising another determining means for determining said training sequence includes a second training sequence.
23. The system of claim 21 , further comprising stimulating means for stimulating subcarriers to estimate a channel for wireless communication with said first training sequence.
