METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR COMMUNICATING WITH A HETEROGENEOUS TERMINAL

摘要

Provided are a method and apparatus for communicating with a heterogeneous terminal, more particularly, a method and apparatus for communicating with a heterogeneous terminal in which the communication between terminals using different modulation methods can be initialized by transmitting throughout a network a preamble with a waveform that is commonly used in the network. The apparatus includes a preamble-generation unit which generates a preamble having a plurality of sequences corresponding to a combination of a modulation method and a waveform that are to be applied to a packet; and a communication unit which attaches the preamble to the packet and then transmits the packet.
