Method and apparatus for mitigation of false packet decodes due to early decoding

摘要

Methods and apparatus for wireless communication in a wireless communication network include determining a transmit data packet size at a transmitting device and computing an early termination scheme associated with a receiving device. Aspects of the methods and apparatus include increasing a transmission length of a Cycle Redundancy Check (CRC) field associated with the transmit data packet before transmission of the transmit data packet, wherein the transmitted length of the CRC field is based on the early decoding scheme. Aspects also include transmitting the transmit data packet with the increased transmission length of the CRC field to the receiving device.

1. A method of wireless communication, comprising:
determining a transmit data packet size of a transmit data packet for transmitting from a transmitting device to a receiving device, wherein the transmit data packet is associated with a Cycle Redundancy Check (CRC) field having a current CRC transmission length; determining an early termination scheme associated with the receiving device decoding one or more packets before an entirety of each of the one or more packets is received; increasing, based on determining the early termination scheme and as a function of the transmit data packet size, the current CRC transmission length of the CRC field associated with the transmit data packet to a new CRC transmission length before transmission of the transmit data packet; and transmitting the transmit data packet with the CRC field according to the new CRC transmission length to the receiving device.
