Abstract

A method for transmitting a data unit, performed by a transmitting station, in a wireless local area network system is provided. The method includes generating a repeated bit sequence, generating an interleaved bit sequence by interleaving the repeated bit sequence, generating at least one symbol by modulating the interleaved bit sequence, generating at least one OFDM symbol by performing IDFT (Inverse Discrete Fourier Transform) on the at least one symbol and transmitting the at least one OFDM symbol.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A method for transmitting a data unit, performed by a transmitting station, in a wireless local area network system, the method comprising:
generating a repeated bit sequence having a length of 144 bits, the repeated bit sequence including a first data bit sequence and a second data bit sequence each having a length of 72 bits, the second data bit sequence being obtained by repeating the first data bit sequence;
generating, with an interleaver having a block size of 24 bits, an interleaved bit sequence by interleaving the repeated bit sequence;
generating, with a modulation circuit, at least one modulation symbol by modulating the interleaved bit sequence;
generating at least one orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbol by performing an Inverse Discrete Fourier Transform (IDFT) on the at least one modulation symbol; and
transmitting, by the transmitting station, the at least one OFDM symbol to a receiving station.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first data bit sequence includes Binary Convolution Coding (BCC) encoded information bits.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the BCC-encoded information bits includes information about a modulation and coding scheme (MCS) and a number of spatial streams.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one modulation symbol includes at least one Binary Phase Shift Keying (BPSK) symbol.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one OFDM symbol is six OFDM symbols.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the six OFDM symbols are transmitted over 1 MHz channel bandwidth.

7. A wireless apparatus operating in a wireless local area network system, the wireless apparatus comprising:
a transceiver configured to transmit and receive radio signals; and
a processor operatively coupled with the transceiver, wherein the processor is configured to:
generate a repeated bit sequence having a length of 144 bits, the repeated bit sequence including a first data bit sequence and a second data bit sequence each having a length of 72 bits, the second data bit sequence being obtained by repeating the first data bit sequence,
generate an interleaved bit sequence by interleaving the repeated bit sequence, the interleaving having a block size of 24 bits,
generate at least one modulation symbol by modulating the interleaved bit sequence,
generate at least one orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbol by performing an Inverse Discrete Fourier Transform (IDFT) on the at least one modulation symbol, and
control the transceiver to transmit the at least one OFDM symbol to a receiving station.

8. The apparatus of claim 7 , wherein the first data bit sequence includes Binary Convolution Coding (BCC)-encoded information bits.

9. The apparatus of claim 8 , wherein the BCC-encoded information bits includes information about a modulation and coding scheme (MCS) and a number of spatial streams.

10. The apparatus of claim 7 , wherein the at least one OFDM symbol is six OFDM symbols.

11. The apparatus of claim 10 , wherein the six OFDM symbols are transmitted over 1 MHz channel bandwidth.
