Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method for transmitting frames of a device in a wireless local area network (WLAN) includes generating a symbol in which legacy cyclic prefixes are periodically located and transmitting a frame including the symbol, wherein the symbol includes a data duration excluding cyclic prefix in symbol duration, and the length of the data duration is longer than 3.2 us.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method for transmitting frames of a device in a wireless local area network (WLAN), the method comprising: generating a symbol, the symbol including a data duration and a cyclic prefix prepended to the data duration, in which a plurality of legacy cyclic prefixes are periodically located in the data duration at intervals corresponding to a symbol duration of a Very High Throughput (VHT) symbol; and transmitting a frame including the symbol, wherein the length of the data duration is 12.8 microseconds. 2. The method of claim 1 , wherein respective lengths of the legacy cyclic prefixes are 0.8 us or 0.4 us. 3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the legacy cyclic prefixes are included in the symbol such that correlation peaks appears at intervals of 4 us or 3.6 us when a Cyclic Prefix (CP) correlation of the symbol is calculated. 4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the symbol includes the plurality of legacy cyclic prefixes corresponding to a legacy cyclic prefix pattern, and the legacy cyclic prefix pattern shows that the legacy cyclic prefixes are each located at every 3.2 us interval. 5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the symbol is generated by using a 256-point Fast Fourier Transform (FFT). 6. A method for transmitting frames of a device in a wireless local area network (WLAN), the method comprising: generating a symbol satisfying backward compatibility; and transmitting a frame including the symbol satisfying backward compatibility in at least one backward compatibility band designated among a plurality of bands, wherein the symbol satisfying backward compatibility includes a data duration and a High Efficiency (HE) cyclic prefix prepended to the data duration, and the length of the data duration is 12.8 microseconds, and wherein the symbol satisfying backward compatibility includes a plurality of legacy cyclic prefixes corresponding to a legacy pattern, and the legacy pattern includes the legacy cyclic prefixes periodically transmitted according to a symbol duration of a Very High Throughput (VHT) symbol. 7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the backward compatibility band includes guard bands which are in both ends of the plurality of bands. 8. The method of claim 6 , wherein the backward compatibility band includes guard bands which are in both ends of the plurality of bands, and at least one of middle bands which are in the middle of the plurality of bands. 9. The method of claim 6 , wherein the legacy pattern shows that the legacy cyclic prefixes are located at every 3.2 us interval. 10. The method of claim 6 , wherein the legacy cyclic prefixes are located in the data duration of the symbol satisfying backward compatibility. 11. The method of claim 7 , wherein respective lengths of the legacy cyclic prefixes are 0.8 us or 0.4 us. 12. The method of claim 6 , wherein the legacy cyclic prefixes are included in the symbol satisfying backward compatibility such that correlation peaks appears at intervals of 4 us or 3.6 us when a Cyclic Prefix (CP) correlation of the symbol satisfying backward compatibility is calculated.
