With reference to Fig. 2 and Fig. 3 (a), in the present embodiment, the data of each STA are at first passed through the IFFT conversion of Nfft1=256 point (sub-carrier number); The sampling interval of baseband sample (sampling interval of IFFT module input sample point) is 50ns, passes through D/A (D/A partly comprises LPF) then, carries out frequency spectrum shift again; Centre frequency is respectively f1~f4, f1=f0-30 wherein, f2=f0-10; F3=f0+10, f4=f0+30, unit is MHz; Through being received by AP behind other resume module of base band, radio-frequency channel and the channel, the data that AP receives are at first also through the processing of radio-frequency channel and other module of base band, and the baseband sample point sampling of AP is 12.5ns at interval; The FFT conversion of ordering through Nfft2=1024 can be carried out subsequent treatment from the data that corresponding frequency band is taken out different STA.
Do not consider under the situation of time deviation, frequency departure, interference noise, suppose that the receiving terminal base band receives that the continuous signal of different carrier frequency is following:

To signal sampling, get t=nT
s
Receiver to the 80MHz bandwidth; N=1024,
substitution following formula gets:
R (n) is done 1024 FFT conversion can demodulation obtain signal W, X, Y, Z.
For guaranteeing that the signal period is consistent, to the signal of different bandwidth, the sampling rate of FFT module input data is different.Under the 20MHz bandwidth, 256 FFT, the sampling period should be 50ns; And under the 80MHz bandwidth, 1024 FFT, the sampling period is 12.5ns.
In the embodiment of the invention, group of subbands supplies each website to use altogether, such as, can two sub-frequency bands synthesize a use, or the synthetic frequency band of all group of subbands uses.Sub-band combination mode in the present embodiment is shown in Fig. 3 (b), Fig. 3 (c) and Fig. 3 (d).
Fig. 3 (b) is depicted as the sub-band division signal of the shared 80MHz frequency spectrum of STA of STA and a 40MHz bandwidth of two 20MHz bandwidth, and the centre frequency of three sub-frequency bands is respectively f1=-30MHz, f2=0, f3=30MHz.In addition, Fig. 3 (b) also has two kinds of distortion, and is as shown in Figure 4.
Fig. 3 (c) is depicted as the sub-band division signal of the shared 80MHz frequency spectrum of STA of two 40MHz bandwidth, and the centre frequency of two sub-frequency bands is respectively f1=-20MHz, f2=20.
The STA that Fig. 3 (d) is depicted as a 80MHz bandwidth takies the sub-band division signal of all 80MHz frequency spectrums, and the sub-band centre frequency is f1=0.
Wherein, Fig. 3 (b) is depicted as the situation of the shared 80MHz frequency spectrum of STA of STA and a 40MHz bandwidth of two 20MHz bandwidth, and frequency band distributes also convertible, specifically as shown in Figure 4.
When AP is configured to 40MHz or 80MHz bandwidth, allow in its frequency spectrum, to have idle basic sub-band or basic sub-band combination.
If the emission website is supported identical bandwidth with receiving station, IFFT/FFT sub-carrier number, the sampling rate of then launching site STA and receiving station are all identical;
If a plurality of emission websites are arranged in the system, the bandwidth that each emission website is supported is different, and under the prerequisite that satisfies the band width configuration requirement, a plurality of emission websites can send data with band width configuration separately to receiving station in the bandwidth range of receiving station support.
For example, if the system bandwidth available bandwidth is 40MHz, then AP supports 40MHz, and STA supports 20MHz or 40MHz, and AP supports that two STA transmit simultaneously.If system's available bandwidth is 20MHz, also can this frequency band be continued to divide, a part of resource in each STA service band, but the centre frequency of each STA is all identical with AP, the no longer extra frequency spectrum shift (centre frequency biasing) of doing.
The shared sub-band of each STA all has virtual subnet carrier wave separately, is arranged on the edge (two ends) of sub-band, is used for as the protection frequency band.Each STA only need do the molding filtration on its bandwidth of supporting separately, rather than the molding filtration on the whole W.And AP does the molding filtration on the whole bandwidth W, so AP can support the STA of different bandwidth configuration neatly.
In order to eliminate or to reduce to produce intersymbol interference (ISI to greatest extent; Inter-Symbol Interference) and multi-user interference, need synchronization mechanism reasonable in design in the system, specifically; Introduce Cyclic Prefix (CP; Cyclic Prefix), and the length of cyclic prefix CP changes along with transmission mode, frame structure and corresponding protocol, needs to design the length of cyclic prefix CP in the system that meets the demands.In the embodiment of the invention, the emission site STA can be confirmed a time point t according to the synchronization preamble of downlink frame when receiving the downlink frame that receiving station AP sends
0, each STA is that benchmark calculates uplink constantly with the time point of estimating separately, the CP length in the design system guarantees to have covered Round Trip Time Measurement 2 δs and the multidiameter extended by tau of the STA of furthest to AP
m, consider time synchronization error again, then the multipath signal of all STA all can arrive STA in the CP scope, is unlikely to produce intersymbol interference (ISI) and multi-user interference.
In the embodiment of the invention, send data, the cyclic prefix CP length T of this wireless communication system is set as a plurality of emission websites
