Systems and methods for high rate OFDM communications

摘要

Messages transmitted between a receiver and a transmitter are used to maximize a communication data rate. In particular, a multicarrier modulation system uses messages that are sent from the receiver to the transmitter to exchange one or more sets of optimized communication parameters. The transmitter then stores these communication parameters and when transmitting to that particular receiver, the transmitter utilizes the stored parameters in an effort to maximize the data rate to that receiver. Likewise, when the receiver receives packets from that particular transmitter, the receiver can utilize the stored communication parameters for reception.

主权项

1. A method for optimizing communication in a wireless multicarrier communication system comprising:
receiving, by a receiver, a packet at a first rate; determining communication parameters based on the received packet, wherein an extended rate extended signal field identifies the communication parameters; transmitting, by a transmitter, an acknowledgement comprising the communication parameters; and commencing communication based on the communication parameters.
