Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
In a method for generating a data unit, a signal field is generated to include a first subfield having one of: a length indication to indicate a number of bytes in a data portion of the data unit, or a duration indication to indicate a number of OFDM symbols in the data portion of the data unit and a second subfield to indicate whether the first subfield includes the length indication or the duration indication. When the first subfield includes the length indication, one or more padding bits are added to a set of information bits according to a first padding scheme. When the first subfield includes the duration indication, one or more padding bits are added to the set of information bits to according to a second padding scheme. Padded information bits are encoded, and the data unit is generated to included the encoded information bits.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A method for generating an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) physical layer (PHY) data unit for transmission via a communication channel, the method comprising: generating a signal field to include a first subfield having one of i) a length indication to indicate a number of bytes in a data portion of the data unit, or ii) a duration indication to indicate a number of OFDM symbols in the data portion of the data unit, and a second subfield…
