Identification of packet traffic transmitted by various devices operated in multiple overlapped frequency bands in packet-based OFDM systems
Techniques for header encoding include encoding a plurality of bits using a forward error correction code, generating an FEC codeword comprising a plurality of encoded bits, and concatenating a first copy of the FEC codeword with a second copy of the FEC codeword, wherein the concatenating comprises cyclically shifting by two bits the second concatenated copy of the FEC codeword relative to the first concatenated copy of the FEC codeword, wherein the encoded bits of the first and second copies of the FEC codewords are modulated on at least one OFDM symbol. techniques for header decoding include receiving a plurality of encoded bits comprising at least two concatenated copies of an FEC codeword, decoding a first copy of the FEC codeword to generate a first plurality of decoded bits, and decoding a second copy of the FEC codeword to generate a second plurality of decoded bits.
1. A wireless receiver capable of header decoding comprising:
a header decoder operable to receive a plurality of encoded bits comprising at least two concatenated copies of an FEC (Forward Error Correction) codeword; and
an FEC decoder operable to decode a first copy of the FEC codeword to generate a first plurality of decoded bits, and operable to decode a second copy of the FEC codeword to generate a second plurality of decoded bits, wherein the decoding comprises cyclically shifting by two bits the second copy of the FEC codeword relative to the first copy of the FEC codeword.
2. The wireless receiver of claim 1 , further comprising a demodulator operable to demodulate the encoded bits of the first and second copies of the FEC codewords from at least one OFDM symbol.
3. A method in wireless receiver capable of header decoding, the method comprising:
receiving, by a header decoder, a plurality of encoded bits comprising at least two concatenated copies of an FEC (Forward Error Correction) codeword; and
decoding, by an FEC decoder, a first copy of the FEC codeword to generate a first plurality of decoded bits, and operable to decode a second copy of the FEC codeword to generate a second plurality of decoded bits, wherein the decoding comprises cyclically shifting by two bits the second copy of the FEC codeword relative to the first copy of the FEC codeword.
4. The method of claim 3 , further comprising demodulating, by a demodulator, the encoded bits of the first and second copies of the FEC codewords from at least one OFDM symbol.
5. A non-transitory computer-readable information storage media having stored thereon instructions, that when executed by one or more processors, cause to be performed a method comprising:
receiving, by a header decoder, a plurality of encoded bits comprising at least two concatenated copies of an FEC (Forward Error Correction) codeword; and
decoding, by an FEC decoder, a first copy of the FEC codeword to generate a first plurality of decoded bits, and operable to decode a second copy of the FEC codeword to generate a second plurality of decoded bits, wherein the decoding comprises cyclically shifting by two bits the second copy of the FEC codeword relative to the first copy of the FEC codeword.
