Method of creating preamble, and method and apparatus for detecting frame boundary

摘要

A method and apparatus of detecting a frame boundary by using a preamble are provided. The method includes delaying the preamble by a predetermined length of time, wherein the preamble includes an LTF and a code of the (n+1)th one of 2n sync sequences of the LTF is the inverse of a code of the last one of the sync sequences of STF; calculating a correlation value between the preamble and the delayed preamble; and detecting a frame boundary by comparing the correlation value with a threshold correlation value.

1. A method of generating synchronization header (SHR) of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) frame, the method comprising:
generating the SHR including sync sequence of a long training field (LTF), the generating including:
multiplexing sync sequences of a short training field (STF) and the sync sequences of the LTF; andtransforming the multiplexed sync sequences of the STF and the LTF into time domain signals by performing an inverse discrete Fourier transform (IDFT), wherein the sync sequence of the LTF in a frequency domain is [0, −1, 1, −1, 1, −1, −1, −1, 1, −1, 1, −1, −1, −1, −1, −1, 1, −1, 1, −1, 1, 1, 1, −1, −1, 1, −1, −1, 1, −1, 1, 1, −1, 1, −1, −1, 1, −1, 1, −1, −1, 1, −1, 1, −1, 1, 1, −1, −1, 1, 1, 1, 1, −1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, −1, −1, −1, 1, −1, −1, 1, −1, −1, 1, 1, −1, 1, 1, 1, 1, −1, −1, −1, 1, −1, −1, 1, −1, −1, 1, 1, −1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, −1, 1, 1, 1, 1, −1, 1, −1, 1, −1, 1, −1, −1, 1, −1, 1, −1, 1, −1, −1] in which 128 tones are numbered from DC(0) to 63 and −64 to −1.
