Abstract

The present invention discloses a generating method for short training field in IEEE 802.11n communication systems, mainly comprising the steps of: storing only a first set of time-domain HT-STF sequences in the memory; and deriving a second set of the time-domain HT-STF sequences from the first set of the time-domain HT-STF sequences. The first set of time-domain HT-STF sequences is the time-domain HT-STF sequences either for lower 20 MHz of 40 MHz BW or upper 20 MHz of 40 MHz BW. According to the invention, it is shown that only one set of time-domain HT-STF sequence needs to be stored in the memory. The other three sets of time-domain HT-STF sequence can be generated easily from simple calculation. Therefore, the saving in buffer size to implement all four configurations is significant.
