Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method for transmitting high rate data within a multiple input multiple output (MIMO) wireless local area network (WLAN) begins by determining a data transmission rate. The method continues by, when the data transmission rate is between a first data rate and a second data rate, enabling two transmission paths. The method continues by, for each of the two transmission paths, determining at least one of: level of constellation, number of data subcarriers, rate code, and cyclic prefix duration.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method for determining a mode of operation for transmission within a multiple input multiple output (MIMO) wireless local area network (WLAN), the method comprises: selecting one of a plurality of predetermined data rates; selecting one of a plurality of channel bandwidths and a number of transmission paths for activation in response to the selected predetermined data rate; determining a modulation type and a coding rate corresponding to a predetermin…
