Abstract

A method for automatically detecting a packet mode in a wireless communication system supporting a multiple transmission mode includes: acquiring at least one of data rate information, packet length information and channel bandwidth information from a transmitted frame; and determining the packet mode on the basis of the phase rotation check result of a symbol transmitted after a signal field signal and at least one of the data rate information, the packet length information and the channel bandwidth information acquired from the transmitted frame.

Claims (28)

1. A method of transmitting control information in a wireless communication system, comprising:

generating a signal field, a first Very High Throughput-Signal (VHT-SIG) field, and a second VHT-SIG field;

generating a first modulation sequence by modulating the signal field on a first binary phase shift keying (BPSK) constellation;

generating a second modulation sequence by modulating the first VHT-SIG field on the first BPSK constellation;

generating a third modulation sequence by modulating the second VHT-SIG field on a second BPSK constellation;

transmitting the first modulation sequence in a first orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbol;

transmitting the second modulation sequence in a second OFDM symbol; and

transmitting the third modulation sequence in a third OFDM symbol,

wherein the second BSPK constellation is rotated by 90° counter-clockwise relative to the first BPSK constellation, and

wherein the first OFDM symbol is contiguous with the second OFDM symbol and the second OFDM symbol is contiguous with the third OFDM symbol.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first OFDM symbol precedes the second OFDM symbol and third OFDM symbol.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first VHT-SIG field includes information indicating whether space time block code is used, and the second VHT-SIG field includes information indicating whether short guard interval is used.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first modulation sequence, the second modulation sequence and the third modulation sequence are transmitted in a bandwidth that is one of 20 MHz, 40 MHz, 80 MHz and 160 MHz.

5. A device for transmitting control information in a wireless communication system, comprising:

a processor; and

a memory operatively coupled with the processor and storing instructions that when executed by the processor causes to the device to:

generate a signal field, a first Very High Throughput-Signal (VHT-SIG) field, and a second VHT-SIG field;

generate a first modulation sequence by modulating the signal field on a first binary phase shift keying (BPSK) constellation;

generate a second modulation sequence by modulating the first VHT-SIG field on the first BPSK constellation;

generate a third modulation sequence by modulating the second VHT-SIG field on a second BPSK constellation;

transmit the first modulation sequence in a first orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbol;

transmit the second modulation sequence in a second OFDM symbol; and

transmit the third modulation sequence in a third OFDM symbol,

wherein the second BSPK constellation is rotated by 90° counter-clockwise relative to the first BPSK constellation, and

wherein the first OFDM symbol is contiguous with the second OFDM symbol and the second OFDM symbol is contiguous with the third OFDM symbol.

6. The device of claim 5 , wherein the first OFDM symbol precedes the second OFDM symbol and third OFDM symbol.

7. The device of claim 5 , wherein the first VHT-SIG field includes information indicating whether space time block code is used, and the second VHT-SIG field includes information indicating whether short guard interval is used.

8. The device of claim 5 , wherein the first modulation sequence, the second modulation sequence and the third modulation sequence are transmitted in a bandwidth that is one of 20 MHz, 40 MHz, 80 MHz and 160 MHz.
