Method and apparatus for transmitting and receiving packets in a wireless communication network

摘要

A first network device including a medium access control module and a physical layer module. The medium access control module is configured to generate a frame to include a first header, a second header and a payload. The first header indicates a start of the frame for a second network device. The second header indicates a length of the payload for the second network device. The payload comprises a third header and data. Other than the payload, a format of the frame complies with IEEE 802.15.4. The physical layer module is configured to: receive the frame; repetition code the third header or repetition code the data; generate a signal including (i) the first header, (ii) the second header, and (iii) the repetition coded third header or the repetition coded data; modulate the signal; and transmit the modulated signal to the second network device.

1. A first network device comprising:
a medium access control module configured to generate a frame to include a first header, a second header and a payload, wherein the first header indicates a start of the frame for a second network device, wherein the second header indicates a length of the payload for the second network device, wherein the payload comprises a third header and data, wherein, other than the payload, a format of the frame complies with Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) 802.15.4, and wherein a format of the payload does not comply with IEEE 802.15.4; and a physical layer module configured to
receive the frame,repetition code the third header or repetition code the data,generate a signal including (i) the first header, (ii) the second header, and (iii) the repetition coded third header or the repetition coded data,modulate the signal, andtransmit the modulated signal to the second network device.
