Abstract

A method of generating preamble sequence is disclosed. A channel used by a wireless device may be divided into four sub-channels, and the method includes forming a preamble sequence of a first sub-channel, making three replicas of the preamble sequence of the first sub-channel, each replica with a phase rotation of a first angle, a second angle, and a third angle respectively, for forming each preamble sequence of a second sub-channel, a third sub-channel, and a fourth sub-channel, and arranging the preamble sequences of the first, the second, the third, and the fourth sub-channels to form a preamble sequence of the channel.

Claims (18)

1. A method of generating a preamble sequence for a wireless device, wherein a channel used by a wireless device is divided into four sub-channels including a first sub-channel, a second sub-channel, a third sub-channel and a fourth sub-channel, the method comprising:

forming a preamble sequence of a first sub-channel;

making a replica of the preamble sequence of the first sub-channel with a phase rotation of a first angle obtained from a memory installed in the wireless device, for forming a preamble sequence of a second sub-channel;

making a second replica of the preamble sequence of the first sub-channel with a phase rotation of a second angle obtained from the memory, for forming a preamble sequence of a third sub-channel;

making a third replica of the preamble sequence of the first sub-channel with a phase rotation of a third angle obtained from the memory, for forming a preamble sequence of a fourth sub-channel; and

arranging the preamble sequences of the first, the second, the third, and the fourth sub-channels to form a preamble sequence of the channel;

wherein at least two of the first angle, the second angle, the third angle and an angle of the preamble sequence of the first sub-channel are the same.

2. The method of generating a preamble sequence of claim 1 , wherein the frequency band of the first sub-channel is of the lowest frequency among the frequency bands of the four sub-channels.

3. The method of generating a preamble sequence of claim 1 , wherein the first angle, the second angle, and the third angle are 0°, 0°, and 180° respectively.

4. The method of generating a preamble sequence of claim 1 , wherein the first angle, the second angle, and the third angle are 0°, 180°, and 0° respectively.

5. The method of generating a preamble sequence of claim 1 , wherein the first angle, the second angle, and the third angle are 90°, 0°, and 270° respectively.

6. The method of generating a preamble sequence of claim 1 , wherein the first angle, the second angle, and the third angle are 90°, 180°, and 90° respectively.

7. The method of generating a preamble sequence of claim 1 , wherein the first angle, the second angle, and the third angle are 180°, 0°, and 0° respectively.

8. The method of generating a preamble sequence of claim 1 , wherein the first angle, the second angle, and the third angle are 180°, 180°, and 180° respectively.

9. The method of generating a preamble sequence of claim 1 , wherein the first angle, the second angle, and the third angle are 270°, 0°, and 90° respectively.

10. The method of generating a preamble sequence of claim 1 , wherein the first angle, the second angle, and the third angle are 270°, 180°, and 270° respectively.

11. The method of generating a preamble sequence of claim 1 , wherein the bandwidth of the channel used by the wireless device is 80 MHz, and the bandwidth of each sub-channel among the first sub-channel to the fourth sub-channel is 20 MHz.

12. The method of generating a preamble sequence of claim 1 , wherein the wireless device conforms to the IEEE 802.11ac standard.
