Abstract

The present invention relates to a wireless communication method for suggesting a packet preamble structure for efficient communication in a wireless communication environment in which a legacy terminal and a non-legacy terminal are mixed, and a wireless communication terminal using the same. For this, the present invention provides a wireless communication method including: generating a packet including a first preamble and a second preamble, wherein a first symbol and a second symbol of the second preamble are modulated using binary phase shift keying (BPSK); and transmitting the generated packet and a wireless communication terminal using the same.

Claims (45)

1. A wireless communication terminal comprising:

a transceiver; and

a processor,

wherein the processor is configured to:

receive, through the transceiver, a first preamble of a wireless packet,

receive, through the transceiver, a second preamble of the wireless packet according to an identified configuration of the second preamble,

wherein the configuration of the second preamble is identified based at least in part on a detected constellation of a specific symbol of the second preamble,

wherein when the detected constellation of the specific symbol is a first constellation, the second preamble includes a high efficiency signal A field (HE-SIG-A) composed of four symbols, and

wherein when the detected constellation of the specific symbol is a second constellation, the second preamble includes an HE-SIG-A composed of two symbols and a high efficiency signal B field (HE-SIG-B).

2. The wireless communication terminal of claim 1 ,

wherein when the second preamble includes an HE-SIG-A composed of four symbols, a first symbol and a second symbol of the HE-SIG-A have same data, and a third symbol and a fourth symbol of the HE-SIG-A have same data.

3. The wireless communication terminal of claim 1 ,

wherein when the detected constellation of the specific symbol is the first constellation, the HE-SIG-A is immediately followed by a high efficiency short training field (HE-STF) of the second preamble.

4. The wireless communication terminal of claim 1 ,

wherein when the detected constellation of the specific symbol is the second constellation, the second preamble includes an HE-SIG-A composed of two symbols immediately followed by the HE-SIG-B.

5. The wireless communication terminal of claim 1 ,

wherein the specific symbol is a third symbol after a legacy signal field (L-SIG) of the first preamble.

6. The wireless communication terminal of claim 1 ,

wherein the second preamble includes a repeated L-SIG (RL-SIG) composed of a first symbol of the second preamble, and

wherein the specific symbol is a second symbol after the RL-SIG.

7. The wireless communication terminal of claim 1 ,

wherein the first constellation is quadrature binary phase shift keying (QBPSK) and the second constellation is binary phase shift keying (BPSK).

8. The wireless communication terminal of claim 1 ,

wherein the first preamble includes a legacy short training field (L-STF), a legacy long training field (L-LTF) and a legacy signal field (L-SIG).

9. A wireless communication method of a terminal, the method comprising:

receiving a first preamble of a wireless packet; and

receiving a second preamble of the wireless packet according to an identified configuration of the second preamble,

wherein the configuration of the second preamble is identified based at least in part on a detected constellation of a specific symbol of the second preamble,

wherein when the detected constellation of the specific symbol is a first constellation, the second preamble includes a high efficiency signal A field (HE-SIG-A) composed of four symbols, and

wherein when the detected constellation of the specific symbol is a second constellation, the second preamble includes an HE-SIG-A composed of two symbols and a high efficiency signal B field (HE-SIG-B).

10. The wireless communication method of claim 9 ,

wherein when the second preamble includes an HE-SIG-A composed of four symbols, a first symbol and a second symbol of the HE-SIG-A have same data, and a third symbol and a fourth symbol of the HE-SIG-A have same data.

11. The wireless communication method of claim 9 ,

wherein when the detected constellation of the specific symbol is the first constellation, the HE-SIG-A is immediately followed by a high efficiency short training field (HE-STF) of the second preamble.

12. The wireless communication method of claim 9 ,

wherein when the detected constellation of the specific symbol is the second constellation, the second preamble includes an HE-SIG-A composed of two symbols immediately followed by the HE-SIG-B.

13. The wireless communication method of claim 9 ,

wherein the specific symbol is a third symbol after a legacy signal field (L-SIG) of the first preamble.

14. The wireless communication method of claim 9 ,

wherein the second preamble includes a repeated L-SIG (RL-SIG) composed of a first symbol of the second preamble, and

wherein the specific symbol is a second symbol after the RL-SIG.

15. The wireless communication method of claim 9 ,

wherein the first constellation is quadrature binary phase shift keying (QBPSK) and the second constellation is binary phase shift keying (BPSK).

16. The wireless communication method of claim 9 ,

wherein the first preamble includes a legacy short training field (L-STF), a legacy long training field (L-LTF) and a legacy signal field (L-SIG).
