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 (35)

1. A wireless communication terminal, comprising:

a transceiver; and

a processor;

wherein the processor is configured to:

receive a preamble of a wireless packet through the transceiver,

wherein the preamble is comprised of a first preamble and a second preamble,

wherein the second preamble includes a first signal(SIG) field composed of two or four symbols, and further includes a second SIG field according to the format of the wireless packet, and

wherein a number of symbols of the first SIG field is identified based on the second symbol of the first SIG field, and

receive a data of the wireless packet.

2. The wireless communication terminal of claim 1 ,

wherein the first SIG field is composed of four symbols when the modulation scheme of the second symbol of the first SIG field is QBPSK (Quadrature Binary Phase Shift Keying).

3. The wireless communication terminal of claim 1 ,

wherein the first SIG field is composed of two symbols when the modulation scheme of the second symbol of the first SIG field is BPSK(Binary Phase Shift Keying).

4. The wireless communication terminal of claim 1 ,

wherein the first preamble includes legacy signal(L-SIG) field, and

wherein the second symbol of the first SIG field is located at a third symbol after the L-SIG field.

5. The wireless communication terminal of claim 4 ,

wherein whether or not the L-SIG field is repeated after the L-SIG field of the wireless frame is used to differentiate a format of the wireless frame from a format of a legacy frame, and

wherein the format of the legacy frame includes at least one of a Very High Throughput(VHT) format or a High Throughput(HT) format.

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

receiving a preamble of a wireless packet through the transceiver,

wherein the preamble is comprised of a first preamble and a second preamble,

wherein the second preamble includes a first signal(SIG) field composed of two or four symbols, and further includes a second SIG field according to the format of the wireless packet, and

wherein a number of symbols of the first SIG field is identified based on the second symbol of the first SIG field; and

receiving a data of the wireless packet.

7. The wireless communication method of claim 6 ,

wherein the first SIG field is composed of four symbols when the modulation scheme of the second symbol of the first SIG field is QBPSK (Quadrature Binary Phase Shift Keying).

8. The wireless communication method of claim 6 ,

wherein the first SIG field is composed of two symbols when the modulation scheme of the second symbol of the first SIG field is BPSK(Binary Phase Shift Keying).

9. The wireless communication method of claim 6 ,

wherein the first preamble includes legacy signal(L-SIG) field, and

wherein the second symbol of the first SIG field is located at a third symbol after the L-SIG field.

10. The wireless communication method of claim 9 ,

wherein whether or not the L-SIG field is repeated after the L-SIG field of the wireless frame is used to differentiate a format of the wireless frame from a format of a legacy frame, and

wherein the format of the legacy frame includes at least one of a Very High Throughput(VHT) format or a High Throughput(HT) format.
