Method for transmitting and receiving frame, and wireless device implementing the same method
View Patent ↗A method for transmitting a frame is provided by a device in a wireless communication network. The device compensates a carrier frequency using a value of carrier frequency offset (CFO), and transmits a frame with the compensated carrier frequency to a receiver. The value of the CFO is indicated in TXVECTOR. A method for transmitting a frame is provided by a device in a wireless communication network. The device allocates data tones for a last symbol based on a payload size, generates the last symbol having repeated waveforms and transmits a frame including at least one period waveform of the repeated waveforms in the last symbol.
1. A method for facilitating wireless communications by a wireless device, the method comprising:
receiving a first PPDU (PHY Protocol Data Unit) in a physical layer;
delivering a first PSDU (Physical Service Data Unit) and an information indicative of a carrier frequency offset (CFO) derived from the first PPDU to a MAC (Media Access Control) layer;
generating a second PSDU in the MAC layer;
delivering the second PSDU and the information indicative of the CFO to the physical layer;
generating a second PPDU using the information indicative of the CFO; and
transmitting the second PPDU over a wireless channel from the wireless device.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein an indicator of a destination of the second PPDU indicates a transmitter of the first PPDU.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the information indicative of the CFO is delivered from the physical layer to the MAC layer.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the information indicative of the CFO is delivered from the MAC layer to the physical layer.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the generating of the second PPDU includes:
pre-compensating a carrier frequency of the second PPDU using the information indicative of the CFO.
6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the generating of the second PPDU further includes:
pre-compensating a sampling frequency of the second PPDU using the value of a sampling frequency offset (SFO),
wherein the value of the SFO is calculated based on the CFO.
7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the pre-compensating of the sampling frequency is performed before an operation of an inverse Fourier transform, and the pre-compensating of the carrier frequency is performed after the inverse Fourier transform operation.
8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the generating of the second PPDU further includes:
correcting an output of the pre-compensating of the sampling frequency by subtracting or adding one sample in an output of the inverse Fourier transform.
9. A wireless device for facilitating wireless communications, the device comprising:
a first pre-compensator configured to compensate a sampling frequency with a sampling frequency offset (SFO);
an inverse Fourier transformer configured to perform an inverse Fourier transform to an output of the first pre-compensator; and
a second pre-compensator configured to compensate a carrier frequency with a carrier frequency offset (CFO) to an output of the inverse Fourier transformer,
wherein a value of the CFO is delivered from a Media Access Control layer.
10. The device of claim 9 , wherein the first pre-compensator calculates a value of the SFO from the value of the CFO.
11. The device of claim 9 , wherein the value of the CFO is estimated by using a receive frame in a physical layer and delivered to the Media Access Control layer from the physical layer,
the value of the CFO is stored with a source of the receive frame in the Media Access Control layer, and
the value of the CFO is delivered from the Media Access Control layer to the physical layer when an indication of a destination of a transmit frame indicates the source of the receive frame.
12. The device of claim 9 , further comprising
a guard interval inserter configured to correct the output of the first pre-compensator by subtracting or adding one sample in the output of the inverse Fourier transformer.
