MASTER STATION AND METHOD FOR HEW COMMUNICATION USING A TRANSMISSION SIGNALING STRUCTURE FOR A HEW SIGNAL FIELD

摘要

Embodiments of a transmission signaling structure for HEW are defined to carry packet information to configure OFDMA receivers for demodulation of a specific portion of the packet and/or to configure receivers for transmission using specific OFDMA and MU-MIMO resources. In some embodiments, the specific portion of the packet comprises one or more minimum bandwidth units of one or more 20 MHz channels. Each 20 MHz bandwidth structure may comprise several minimum bandwidth units to allow each 20 MHz channel to have a have smaller granularity than 20 MHz.

主权项

1. A communication station arranged to operate as a high-efficiency WLAN (HEW) master station, the communication station comprising hardware processing circuitry configured to:
generate a packet that includes a transmission signaling structure to configure scheduled HEW stations for communication on channel resources in accordance with an orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) technique, the channel resources comprising one or more OFDMA subchannels within a 20 MHz channel, wherein each OFDMA subchannel comprises one or more minimum bandwidth units having a predetermined bandwidth.
