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 (41)

1. A wireless communication terminal, comprising:

a transceiver; and

a processor;

wherein the processor is configured to:

receive a wireless packet through the transceiver, wherein the wireless packet sequentially includes a legacy signal(L-SIG) field, and a high efficiency signal A(HE-SIG-A) field, and

determine whether the wireless packet is a non-legacy packet based on a repeated L-SIG(RL-SIG) field after the L-SIG field of a legacy preamble of the wireless packet, wherein whether the wireless packet is the non-legacy packet is determined according to whether the wireless packet includes the RL-SIG field, which is a repetition of the L-SIG field, before the HE-SIG-A field.

2. The wireless communication terminal of claim 1 ,

wherein when a first symbol after the L-SIG field of the wireless packet is the RL-SIG field, the wireless packet is determined to be the non-legacy packet.

3. The wireless communication terminal of claim 1 ,

wherein when the wireless packet is determined to be the non-legacy packet, a configuration of a non-legacy preamble of the wireless packet is identified based at least in part on a detected constellation of a specific symbol of the non-legacy preamble.

4. The wireless communication terminal of claim 3 ,

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

5. The wireless communication terminal of claim 3 ,

wherein when the detected constellation of the specific symbol is a first constellation, the non-legacy preamble contains the HE-SIG-A field composed of four symbols.

6. The wireless communication terminal of claim 5 ,

wherein when the second preamble contains the HE-SIG-A field composed of four symbols, a first symbol and a second symbol of the HE-SIG-A field has same data, and a third symbol and a fourth symbol of the HE-SIG-A field has same data.

7. The wireless communication terminal of claim 5 ,

wherein the first constellation is a quadrature binary phase shift keying.

8. The wireless communication terminal of claim 3 ,

wherein when the detected constellation of the specific symbol is a second constellation, the non-legacy preamble contains a high efficiency signal B (HE-SIG-B) field in addition to an HE-SIG-A field composed of two symbols.

9. The wireless communication terminal of claim 8 ,

wherein the second constellation is a binary phase shift keying.

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

receiving a wireless packet, wherein the wireless packet sequentially includes a legacy signal(L-SIG) field, and a high efficiency signal A(HE-SIG-A) field; and

determining whether the wireless packet is a non-legacy packet based on a repeated L-SIG(RL-SIG) field after the L-SIG field of a legacy preamble of the wireless packet, wherein whether the wireless packet is the non-legacy packet is determined according to whether the wireless packet includes the RL-SIG field, which is a repetition of the L-SIG field, before the HE-SIG-A field.

11. The wireless communication method of claim 10 ,

wherein when a first symbol after the L-SIG of the wireless packet is the RL-SIG field, the wireless packet is determined to be the non-legacy packet.

12. The wireless communication method of claim 10 ,

wherein when the wireless packet is determined to be the non-legacy packet, a configuration of a non-legacy preamble of the wireless packet is identified based at least in part on a detected constellation of a specific symbol of the non-legacy preamble.

13. The wireless communication method of claim 12 ,

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

14. The wireless communication method of claim 12 ,

wherein when the detected constellation of the specific symbol is a first constellation, the non-legacy preamble contains the HE-SIG-A field composed of four symbols.

15. The wireless communication method of claim 14 ,

wherein when the second preamble contains the HE-SIG-A field composed of four symbols, a first symbol and a second symbol of the HE-SIG-A field has same data, and a third symbol and a fourth symbol of the HE-SIG-A field has same data.

16. The wireless communication method of claim 14 ,

wherein the first constellation is a quadrature binary phase shift keying.

17. The wireless communication method of claim 12 ,

wherein when the detected constellation of the specific symbol is a second constellation, the non-legacy preamble contains a high efficiency signal B (HE-SIG-B) field in addition to an HE-SIG-A field composed of two symbols.

18. The wireless communication method of claim 17 ,

wherein the second constellation is a binary phase shift keying.
