The legacy version part 112 of preamble is formative according to one or more legacy version wireless communication standards, and these standards include but not limited to: GSM, IEEE 802.11 (a) and (b), (g), (j), bluetooth or their other version.In addition, legacy version part 112 comprises first training sequence and second training sequence at least.Such training sequence is used for detection signal, characteristics of signals and frame duration.The legacy version part 112-1 of the cyclic shift of preamble comprises first training sequence of cyclic shift and second training sequence of cyclic shift.Be noted that if the legacy version part 112 of preamble comprises plural training sequence the legacy version of the cyclic shift of preamble part can comprise the training sequence of a plurality of cyclic shifts.
First training sequence of cyclic shift is duplicating of first training sequence, and it has time displacement, this time shift with respect to first training sequence is the segment of duration of the preamble of frame 110.For example, the duration segment of preamble can arrive between positive 400 nanoseconds positive 50 nanoseconds, perhaps between negative 50 nanoseconds to negative 400 nanoseconds.Second training sequence of cyclic shift is duplicating of second training sequence, and it has time displacement with respect to first training sequence, and this time shift is the segment of the duration of preamble.
The preamble portion 114 of current agreement and the preamble portion 114-1 of the second current agreement comprise the additional training sequence that is used for Wireless Telecom Equipment, and this Wireless Telecom Equipment is deferred to current wireless communication protocol (for example IEEE 802.11n).For example, the preamble portion 114 of current agreement can comprise the additional long training sequence that replenishes, and each duration is 4 microseconds; High data-signal field, each duration is 4 microseconds, so that the additional information about frame to be provided.Data division 108 comprises that the duration is the symbol of 4 microseconds.In this case, provide the legacy version protection in physical layer.
Fig. 8 is the schematic diagram of exemplary preamble of the MIMO communication of Fig. 7.In this example, current wireless communication protocol is IEEE 802.11n, and the wireless communication protocol of legacy version is IEEE 802.11 (a) and/or (g).As shown in the figure, the first transmitting antenna frame part 110-1 comprises: short training sequence (STS) symbol 120, this short training sequence are first training sequences of the legacy version part 112 of preamble; Double protection is (GI2) 122 at interval; Repeating twice long training sequence (LTS) symbol 124,126, is second training sequence of the legacy version part 112 of preamble; Guard interval (GI) 128, and signal field 129.The second transmitting antenna frame part 110-2 comprises: the cyclic shift symbol 130 of short training sequence (STS), this short training sequence are first training sequences of cyclic shift of legacy version part 112-1 of the cyclic shift of preamble; Double protection is (GI2) 132 at interval; Repeating the cyclic shift symbol 134,136 of twice long training sequence (LTS), is second training sequence of cyclic shift of legacy version part 112-1 of the cyclic shift of preamble; Guard interval (GI) 138, and signal field 139.
As further shown in FIG., the STS symbol 130 of cyclic shift comprises identical with STS symbol 120 but at the symbol of the duration of preamble segment 150 time shifts.As mentioned, this duration segment+/-five ten nanoseconds between+/-four hundred nanoseconds.Similarly, the LTS symbol 134,136 of cyclic shift comprises identical with LTS symbol 134,136 but at the symbol of identical duration segment 150 time shifts of preamble.
In this example, short training sequence (STS) symbol 120 was sent out in the duration of 8 microseconds, and the STS symbol 130 of cyclic shift equally also is sent out in the duration of 8 microseconds.Signal field 129,139, the duration is 4 microseconds, comprises the position of the duration of several display frames 110.Like this, defer to the equipment of deferring to IEEE 802.11g in the equipment of IEEE802.11a and the adjacent domain in the adjacent domain and will identify frame 110 and be transmitted, even the remainder that these equipment can not decoded frame.In this case, according to the suitable decoding to the legacy version part 112 of preamble, legacy version equipment (IEEE802.11a and IEEE 802.11g) can be avoided the conflict of communicating by letter with IEEE 802.11n.
Aforementioned discussion has provided the various embodiment of radio communication in the wireless communication system that comprises a plurality of Wireless Telecom Equipments of following different agreement.For example, can comprise plural transmitting antenna in the frame.One skilled in the art will appreciate that from demonstration of the present invention, to obtain other embodiment, and do not break away from the scope of claim.
