Abstract

A method is performed by a wireless device. The method comprises receiving a predetermined number N of Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) symbols of a PHY Protocol Data Unit (PPDU), determining, using the Nth received OFDM symbol, whether the PPDU is a PPDU according to a first wireless network standard or a PPDU according to a second wireless network standard, and decoding the PPDU according to the determined wireless network standard. The predetermined number N corresponds to either a location of a Legacy Signal (L-SIG) field in the PPDU or the location of a symbol of a second field of the second wireless network standard in the PPDU, the second field being different from the L-SIG field. The first and second wireless network standards may each be a Vehicle to Everything standard or an Intelligent Transportation System standard, and may be different from each other.

Claims (52)

1. A method performed by a wireless device, the method comprising:

receiving, by the wireless device using a first band, a first Physical layer Protocol Data Unit (PPDU) including a first portion and a second portion;

receiving, by the wireless device using a second band and simultaneously with receiving the first PPDU, a second PPDU including a third portion and a fourth portion;

extracting, from the second portion, decoding information from the first PPDU, the first decoding information including:

low-density parity-check (LDPC) information that indicates whether LDPC is used with both the first PPDU and the second PPDU,

bandwidth information that indicates a bandwidth of both the first PPDU and the second PPDU,

midamble information that indicates a midamble periodicity in both the first PPDU and the second PPDU,

format information that indicates a format of both the first PPDU and the second PPDU, and

coding information that indicates coding used for both the first PPDU and the second PPDU;

extracting, from the fourth portion, the decoding information from the second PPDU;

decoding, using the decoding information, a first data payload included in the second portion;

decoding, using the decoding information, a second data payload included in the fourth portion;

wherein the first portion is transmitted using a first numerology and the second portion is transmitted using a second numerology, and

wherein the third portion is transmitted using the first numerology and the fourth portion is transmitted using the second numerology,

wherein the first portion and the third portion each include a set of legacy short training symbols, a set of legacy long training symbols, and a set of legacy signal symbols,

wherein the second portion and the fourth portion share a set of non-legacy signal symbols,

wherein the first band is adjacent to the second band, and

wherein the first and second PPDUs are both single-user PPDUs.

2. The method of claim 1 ,

wherein the set of legacy signal symbols are modulated according to a first constellation mapping and the set of non-legacy signal symbols are modulated according to a second constellation mapping different from the first constellation mapping.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the first constellation mapping is Binary Phase Shift Keying (BPSK), and wherein the second constellation mapping is Quadrature BPSK (QBPSK).

4. The method of claim 2 ,

wherein the first signal symbol of the first PPDU is a first legacy signal symbol and the second signal symbol of the first PPDU is a first non-legacy signal symbol, and

wherein the first signal symbol of the second PPDU is a second legacy signal symbol and the second signal symbol of the second PPDU is a second non-legacy signal symbol.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the set of non-legacy signal symbols include the decoding information.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first band is 10 MHz, wherein the second band is 10 MHz, and wherein the first band is separate from the second band.

7. A non-transitory computer readable medium (CRM) comprising computer executable instructions which, when executed by one or more processors of a wireless device, cause the wireless device to perform steps comprising:
