The physical layer circuit comprises a high ate physical layer circuit (HRP) and a low rate physical layer circuit (LRP). The low rate channels generated by the low rate physical layer circuit (LRP) share a same frequency band as a corresponding high rate channel generated by the high rate physical layer circuit (HRP).

Description

200803236 九、發明說明: 【發明所屬之技術領域】 本發明係關於無線通信之領域;更明確言之,本發明係 關於一種使用適應性波束成型(beamformins)的無線通信骏 置。 【先前技術】 1998年,形成數位顯示工作組(DDWG)以在電腦與顯示 器之間建立一通用介面標準來替代類比視頻圖形介面卡 (VGA)連接標準。所得標準為1999年4月發行之數位視訊 介面(DVI)規範。 存在若干可用之内容保護機制。舉例而言,高頻寬數位 内容保護(HDCP)及數位傳輸内容保護(DTCP)為眾所熟知 之内容保護機制。建議將HDCP作為DVI之安全組件且針 對數位視訊監視器介面來設計HDCP。 高清晰度多媒體影音介面(HDMI)為發展用以滿足對高 清晰度音訊及視訊之爆炸性需求的連接介面標準。HDMI 能夠載運視訊及音訊且與DVI(其僅載運視訊信號)回溯相 容。DVI及HDMI之主要優點在於兩者皆能夠經由單個電 纜傳輸未經壓縮的高清晰度數位流。 HDCP為用於保護在DVI及HDMI上傳送之内容不被複製 的系統。詳情參見HDCP 1.0。HDCP提供鑑認、加密及撤 銷。播放裝置及顯示監視器中之專用電路將視訊資料加密 之後將其發送出。使用HDCP,内容在DVI或HDMI發射器 晶片之前(或内部)立刻加密且在DVI或HDMI接收器晶片之 118831.doc 200803236 後(或内部)立刻解密。 除加密及解密功能之外,HDCP實施鑑認以驗證接收裝 置(例如,顯示器、電視等)被授權接收加密内容。大致每 兩秒鐘進行重新鑑認以持續地確認DVI或HDMI介面的安 全性。在任一時刻,若藉由(例如)斷開裝置及/或連接不合 法之記錄裝置而使得重新鑑認未發生,則源裝置(例如, 數位多功能碟片(DVD)播放器、視訊轉換器等)結束對加密 内容的傳輸。BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to the field of wireless communication; more specifically, the present invention relates to a wireless communication device using adaptive beamforming. [Prior Art] In 1998, the Digital Display Working Group (DDWG) was formed to replace the analog video graphics interface card (VGA) connection standard by establishing a common interface standard between the computer and the display. The resulting standard is the Digital Video Interface (DVI) specification issued in April 1999. There are several content protection mechanisms available. For example, High Frequency Wide Digital Content Protection (HDCP) and Digital Transmission Content Protection (DTCP) are well known content protection mechanisms. It is recommended to design HDCP as a security component of DVI and for the digital video monitor interface. The High Definition Multimedia Audio Interface (HDMI) is a connectivity interface standard developed to meet the explosive demand for high definition audio and video. HDMI is capable of carrying video and audio and is backwards compatible with DVI, which only carries video signals. The main advantage of DVI and HDMI is that both can transmit uncompressed high definition digital bit streams over a single cable. HDCP is a system for protecting content transmitted on DVI and HDMI from being copied. See HDCP 1.0 for details. HDCP provides authentication, encryption and revocation. The dedicated circuitry in the playback device and display monitor encrypts the video data and sends it out. With HDCP, the content is immediately encrypted (or internally) on the DVI or HDMI transmitter chip and decrypted immediately after (or inside) the DVI or HDMI receiver chip 118831.doc 200803236. In addition to the encryption and decryption functions, the HDCP performs authentication to verify that the receiving device (e.g., display, television, etc.) is authorized to receive the encrypted content. Re-authentication is performed approximately every two seconds to continuously confirm the security of the DVI or HDMI interface. At any one time, if re-authentication does not occur by, for example, disconnecting the device and/or connecting an illegal recording device, the source device (eg, a digital versatile disc (DVD) player, a video converter) Etc.) End the transfer of encrypted content.

Although there is currently a lot of attention to cellular technology and wireless networks, there is an increasing interest in unlicensed spectrum near 60 GHz for wireless video transmission or very high speed network connections. More specifically, 'in the United States and Japan, the adjacent bandwidth of the open 7 coffee is used for unauthorized use at a millimeter wave frequency around 60 GHz. [Inventive content] A radio frequency (RF) transmitter is coupled to - #处理为 and controlled by the processor to transfer data. A physical layer circuit is attached to the RF transmitter to push and encode between a digital signal and a modulation analog signal. The physical layer circuit includes a high rate physical layer circuit (Η lWRP) and a low rate physical layer circuit (LRP). From the low-rate physical layer, the mine tail is reversed? The resulting low rate channel shares the same frequency band as the high rate channel corresponding to one of the high rate physical layer circuits 1). [Embodiment] 118831.doc 200803236 The present invention discloses an apparatus and method for wireless communication. In one embodiment, a wireless communication transceiver having an adaptive beamforming antenna is used for wireless communication. As is apparent to those skilled in the art, wireless communication can be performed using a wireless receiver or transmitter. In an embodiment, the wireless communication includes an additional link or channel for transmitting information between the transmitter and the receiver. This link can be unidirectional or bidirectional. In one embodiment, the channel is used to transmit antenna information from the receiver back to the transmitter, thereby enabling the transmitter to adapt its antenna array to find the path in the other direction by manipulating the antenna elements. This method avoids obstacles. In one embodiment, the link is also used to transmit information corresponding to wirelessly transmitted content (e.g., wireless video). This information can be content protection information. For example, in one embodiment, the link is used to transmit an encryption key and an encryption key confirmation when the transceiver transmits HDMI data. Thus, in one embodiment, the link transmits control information and content protection information. This extra link can be an independent channel in the 60 GHz band. In an alternate embodiment, the link can be a wireless channel in the 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz band. In the following description, numerous details are set forth to provide a more comprehensive explanation of the invention. However, the present invention may be practiced without these specific details, as will be apparent to those skilled in the art. In other instances, well-known structures and devices are shown in the form of block diagrams and are not shown in detail in order to avoid obscuring the invention. Some portions of the detailed description that follows are presented in terms of calculations and symbolic representations of operations performed on the information bits in the computer memory. Such performances 118831.doc 200803236 Different descriptions and representations are used by those skilled in the art to best convey the essence of their work to those skilled in the art. The algorithm is here and is generally envisaged as a self-consistent sequence of steps that produce the desired result. These steps are steps that require physical manipulation of physical quantities. Usually, although not necessarily, such quantities are in the form of electrical or magnetic signals that can be stored, transferred, combined, compared and otherwise manipulated. In principle, it has proven convenient at times, principally, to refer to such signals as bits, values, elements, symbols, characters, terms, numbers, or the like. However, it should be borne in mind that all such and similar terms should be combined with the appropriate physical quantities and are merely the convenience of the application. Unless otherwise expressly stated (as will be apparent from the description below), it should be understood that throughout the description, such as processing '' or π computing, or 'calculating' or 'determining' or 'display' The discussion of the terminology of , or the like, refers to the act and process of a computer system or similar electronic computing device, which is expressed as a physical (electronic) amount of data manipulation in a computer system register and memory. Transitions to other materials that are similarly represented as computer system memory or as a physical quantity in a storage or transmission or display device of such other information. The present invention is also directed to apparatus for performing the operations herein. The device may be specially constructed for the desired purpose, or it may comprise a general purpose computer, the brain being selectively activated or reconfigured by a computer program stored in the computer. The computer program may be stored in a computer readable storage medium. For example (=: limited to) any type of disc, including flexible disk, optical disc, optical read memory (CD-R0M) and magneto-optical disc, read-only memory (r〇m), Random 118831.doc 200803236 Access memory (RAM), erasable programmable read-only memory (epr〇m), electronic erasable programmable read-only memory (EEpR〇M), magnetic or optical card or any - Types are suitable for media storing electronic instructions, and each of these media is coupled to a computer system bus.

In this case, the media receiver interface 102 can include an HDMI plug and the content 101 is transmitted via a wired connection; however, it can be transmitted via a wireless connection. In another embodiment, content 1 〇 1 contains D VI content. In one embodiment, the transfer of content 101 between media receiver interface 102 and transmitter device 140 is performed over a wired connection; however, the transfer can occur via a wireless connection. Transmitter device 140 wirelessly transmits information to receiver device 141 using two wireless connections. One of the wireless connections is via a phased array antenna with adaptive beamforming. Another wireless connection is via wireless communication channel 107, referred to herein as a back channel. In one embodiment, 'WirelessC# channel 10 7 is unidirectional. In an alternate embodiment, the wireless communication channel 107 is bidirectional. The receiver device 141 transmits the content received from the transmitter device 140 to the media player 114 via the media player interface 113.

A digital/analog converter (DAC) 202 receives the digital signal output from the DSP 201 and converts it to an analog signal. In one embodiment, the signal output from DAC 202 is a signal between 0 MHz and 256 MHz. In an alternate embodiment, the signal output from DAC 202 is a signal between 〇 MHz and 750 MHz. Mixer 203 receives the signal output from DAC 202 and combines it with the signal from local oscillator (LO) 204. The signal output from the mixer 203 is at the intermediate frequency. In an embodiment, the intermediate frequency is between 2 GHz and 15 GHz. A plurality of phase shifters 205_ receive the output from the mixer 203.

In one embodiment, DSP 20 1 also controls the phase and magnitude of the current in each of the antenna elements in phased array antenna 220 via control channel 208, as is well known in the art. The way produces the desired beam pattern. In other words, the DSP 201 controls the phase shifters 205 Ν·Ν of the phased array antenna 220 to produce the desired field pattern. Each of the phase shifters 205〇-Ν produces an output that is sent to one of the power amplifiers 206〇-Ν that amplifies the signal. The amplified signal is sent to an antenna array 2〇7 having a plurality of antenna elements 2〇7G-N. In one embodiment, the signal transmitted from the antenna 207 〇 Ν is a radio frequency signal between 56 GHz and 64 GHz. Therefore, a plurality of beams are output from the phased array antenna 22A. For the receiver, the antenna 210〇_N receives the wireless transmission from the antenna 207G-N and provides 118831.doc -16 - 200803236 to the phase shifter 211〇_Ν. As discussed above, in one embodiment, the phase shifter 211 〇 _N includes a quantized phase shifter. Alternatively, the phase shifter 211 can be replaced by a complex multiplier. Phase shifter 211 〇-N receives signals from antenna 21 〇0_N, which are combined to form a single feed line output. In one embodiment, a multiplexer is used to combine signals from different components and output the single feed. The output of the phase shifter 211 〇 Ν is input to an intermediate frequency (ip) amplifier 212, which reduces the frequency of the signal to the intermediate frequency. In one embodiment, the intermediate frequency is between 2 GHz and 9 GHz. This frequency 213 receives the output of IF amplifier 212 and combines it with the signal from LO 214 in a manner well known in the art. In one embodiment, the output of mixer 213 is a signal in the range of 〇 MHz to about 250 MHz. In one embodiment, each channel has a ** and a q signal.

DSP-Controlled Adaptive Beamforming In one embodiment, the DSP implements an adaptive algorithm that enables beamforming weighting to be implemented in hardware. That is, the transmitter and receiver work together to enable the beam shaping in the RRF frequency with a digitally controlled analog phase shifter; however, in an alternative embodiment, the beamforming system (4) performs . The phase shifters, 205G_N & 211()_N are controlled via control channels 2〇8 and control channels 217, respectively, via their respective DSPs in a manner well known in the art. For example, DSP 201 controls phase shifter 205〇n to cause the transmitter to perform adaptive beamforming to manipulate the beam, while DSP 201 controls phase shifter 211〇ν to direct the antenna element to receive wireless transmissions from the antenna elements and combine Signals from different components form a single feeder output. In one embodiment, a multiplex is used to combine signals from different components and output the single feed. The DSP 201 performs beam steering by pulse or excitation, and a suitable phase shifter is connected to each antenna element. The pulse algorithm under DSP 201 controls the phase and gain of each component. Phased array beamforming to perform DSP control is well known in the art. Adaptive beamforming antennas are used to avoid interference barriers. By adapting the beamforming and steering the beam, communication can be avoided without hindering the wireless transmission between the transmitter and the receiver. In an embodiment, with respect to an adaptive beamforming antenna, it has three phases of operation. The three operational phases are the training phase, the search phase and the tracking phase. The training phase and the search phase are performed during the initialization period. The training phase determines the spatial profile of the predetermined sequence (4} and the channel profile. The search phase calculates the list of candidate spatial patterns {4}, {巧}, and selects a preferred {4, smart} for use in a transceiver. Data transfer between the transmitter and the receiver of the other transceiver. The tracking phase keeps track of the strength of the candidate list. When the first choice is blocked, the next pair of spatial fields are selected for use. 118831.doc -18- 200803236 In an embodiment, during the training phase, the transmitter transmits a sequence of spatial patterns {4} outward. For each spatial pattern {4}, the receiver projects the received ## to another The result of the projection is: the channel profile is obtained on the pair of {4}, {巧}. In an embodiment, thorough training is performed between the transmitter and the receiver, wherein the receiver The antenna is positioned at all locations and the transmitter transmits multiple spatial patterns. Thorough training is well known in the art. In this case, one transmission space pattern is transmitted by the transmitter and received by the receiver. Receive spatial field type to form a frequency The track matrix. Therefore, the transmitter traverses the field pattern of the transmission sector and the receiver searches to find the strongest signal for the transmission. Then, the transmitter moves to the next sector. At the end of the thorough search process, the transmitter is obtained. And the grading strength of all the positioning of the receiver and the nickname of the channel at the same position. The information remains the pairing of the position indicated by the antenna and the signal strength of the channel. This list can be used to control the antenna beam in the presence of interference. In an alternate embodiment, two-segment training is used in which the transmitted positive parent antenna field type divides the space into successive narrow segments to obtain a channel profile. False DSP 1 〇 1 is in a steady state and the antenna The direction that should be pointed is determined. In the nominal state, the DSP will have a set of coefficients that it sends to the phase shifter. The equal coefficient is the phase of the corresponding antenna indicating the phase shifter offset signal. For example, DSP 1 〇1 sends a set of digital control information to the phase shifter' indicating that different phase shifters will shift different amounts, for example, offset by 3 degrees, offset by 45 degrees, offset by 90 degrees, offset by 180 degrees Therefore, the phase of the signal sent to the antenna 118831.doc -19·200803236 will be offset by a certain number of degrees. For example, the 16, 36, 32, 64 components in the array are offset by different amounts of the final result to make the antenna It can be manipulated to provide the most sensitive receiving position for the receiving antenna. That is, the offset of the composite combination on the entire antenna array provides the ability to change the position of the most sensitive point of the antenna on the hemisphere. In an example, the appropriate connection between the transmitter and the receiver may not be a direct path from the transmitter to the receiver. For example, the most appropriate path may bounce back from the ceiling. In one embodiment, the wireless channel The communication system includes a return channel or link for transmitting information between wireless communication devices (e.g., transmitters and receivers, a pair of transceivers, etc.). This information relates to beamformed antennas and this information enables one or both of the wireless communication devices to adapt the array of antenna elements to better direct the antenna elements of the transmitter to the antenna elements of the receiving device. The information also includes information that facilitates the use of content that is wirelessly transmitted between the transmitter and receiver antenna elements. In FIG. 2, a return channel 220 is coupled between the DSP 216 and the DSP 201 to enable the DSP 216 to send tracking and control information to the DSP 201. In one embodiment, the return channel 220 acts as a high speed downlink and acknowledge channel. In one embodiment, the return channel is also used to communicate information corresponding to the application, and the wireless communication is performed for the application (e.g., wireless video). This information includes content protection information. For example, in one embodiment, the return channel is used to transmit encrypted information (e.g., an encryption key and an encryption key confirmation) when the transceiver transmits HDMI material. In this case, the return channel uses 118831.doc -20- 200803236 for content protection communication. More specifically, in HDMI, encryption is used to verify that the data store is a licensed device (eg, a licensed display). When the HDMI stream is transmitted, a continuous stream of new encryption keys is transmitted to verify that the licensed device has not been altered. The blocks of the HD TV data frame are encrypted by different keys, and then the keys must be returned on the return channel 220 for confirmation to verify the player. The return channel 220 transmits the encryption key to the receiver in the forward direction and transmits the confirmation of the key reception from the receiver in the return direction. Therefore, the encrypted information is sent in both directions. The use of a return channel for content protection communication is beneficial because it avoids having to complete a very long retraining process when the communication is sent with the content. For example, if the key from the transmitter is sent along with the content flowing through the primary link and the primary link is disconnected, for a typical HDMI/HDcp system it will impose a very long 2 seconds to 3 Retraining in seconds. In one embodiment, the separate bidirectional link has higher reliability than the primary direction link giving its omnidirectional orientation. By using this return channel for the HDcp key and communication from the receiving device's return acknowledgment, time-consuming retraining can be avoided even with the most impulsive obstacles. During the active period, when the beamforming antenna is transmitting content, the return frequency j is used to allow the receiver to know the state of the transmitter with respect to the channel. For example. When the channel between the S beamforming antennas is of sufficient quality, the receiver sends a message on the return channel to indicate that the channel is acceptable. The receiver can also use the return channel to send transmitter measurable information indicating the product f of the channel being used. If there is some form of interference (eg, 118831.doc • 21 · 200803236, if obstructed), it degrades the quality of the channel below an acceptable level or prevents complete transmission between beamforming antennas, then receives The device may indicate that the channel is not acceptable and/or may require a change in the channel on the return channel. Receiver: Requires a change to the next channel in the - scheduled group, or a specific channel can be assigned to the transmitter for use. In an embodiment, the return channel is bidirectional. In this case, in a = example, the transmitter uses the return channel to send information to the receiver. This messaging may include information that the command receiver positions its antenna elements at different fixed positions (the transmitter will scan for such positions during initialization). The transmitter may specify this by either explicitly indicating the location, or by indicating to the receiver which 5 x l2r ^ should only proceed to a predetermined order or list (transmitter and receiver) All of them travel through the position indicated by this order or list). In one embodiment, the return channel and the Iw back channel are used by either or both of the transmitter and the receiver to notify the other of the specific green primary antenna characteristics. For example, a hai antenna characteristic information can be reduced. The antenna antenna accepts a radius resolution as low as 6 degrees and the antenna has a certain number of components (for example, 32 components, 64 components, etc.). In one embodiment, the communication is performed on the return channel as soon as it is used. Any type of wireless communication can be used. In an embodiment, OFDM is used to obtain a broadcast on the return channel. In another embodiment, a low peak-to-average power ratio /, continuous phase modulation (CPM) of the drought is used to transmit information on the θ-back channel. SHIkou Physical Layer (ΡΗΥ) Overview 118831.doc -22- 200803236 The Wireless HD specification supports two basic types of PHYs: High Rate PHY (HRP) and Low Rate PHY (LRP). According to an embodiment, the HRP supports data rates of multiple Gbps. HRP can operate in a directional mode (usually beamforming mode). HRP can be used to transmit audio, video, data and control messages. The LRP can only be sent from the HTx/HTR unit to the HRx/HTR unit. In an embodiment, the HRP occupies a bandwidth of approximately 1.7 GHz. According to an embodiment, the LRP supports multiple data rates of Mbps. The LRP can operate in either directional, omnidirectional or beamforming mode. In an embodiment, the LRP can be used to transmit control messages, beacons, and acknowledgments. In an alternate embodiment, the LRP can be further used to transmit audio or compress video. In yet another embodiment, the LRP can be further used to transmit low speed data. LRP can be sent between any device. The LRP occupies one of the three 9 1 MHz subchannels of the HRP channel discussed below. Frequency plan HRP and LRP can share the same frequency band. Figure 4 illustrates one embodiment of a frequency plan for HRP and LRP. The low rate channel 404 shares the same frequency band as the corresponding high rate channel 402. The three low rate channels 1A, IB, 1C can be configured in each high rate channel bandwidth (channel 1) to avoid interference. According to another embodiment, the low rate and high rate channels can operate in a time division duplex mode. Figure 4 illustrates four examples of channels between 57 GHz and 66 GHz: Channel 1 operates between 57.2 GHz and 59.2 GHz, Channel 2 operates between 59·4 GHz and 61.4 GHz, and Channel 3 operates at 61.6 GHz. Operating between 63.6 GHz, channel 4 operates between 63.8 GHz and 65.8 GHz. 118831.doc •23· 200803236 A single low-cost crystal oscillator can generate these frequencies. The baseband clock frequency can approach 2. 5 GHz (for example, 2.508 GHz). According to an embodiment, the frequency plan can support the design of an easily implemented RF synthesizer. The resulting center frequencies can be: 58.608 GHz, 60.720 GHz, 62.832 GHz, and 64.944 GHz. Possible crystal frequencies can include 44 MHz, 66 MHz, and 132 MHz. High-rate PHY (HRP) HRP supports data rates of 3.76 Gbps, 1.88 Gbps, and 0.94 Gbps. The data rate can be individually matched to the video resolution standards of 1080p, 1080i, and 480p for various sampling rates. Therefore, this range can be increased at lower data rates. A higher PHY rate can still allow multiple lower rate streams via the MAC. HRP can utilize several types of coding and modulation: OFDM, 16QAM and QPSK modulation, internal convolutional codes (1/3, 2/3, 4/7, 4/5 rates) and Reed-Solomon (Reed) at a rate of 0.96 -Solomon) Outer code. In addition to the internal convolutional code, the Reed-Solomon outer code uses a lower SNR requirement of approximately 2 dB. An external interleaver can be used to achieve full gain of the outer code. HRP can utilize four channels for the channel bandwidth of 1.7 GHz over the global 60 GHz band. According to an embodiment, there may be three channels per region. HRP can be extended to include parallelization of FEC streams for cost-saving implementation and support for unequal error protection (UEP) concepts. Figure 5A illustrates an embodiment of a Tx PHY block diagram. The scrambler 502 receives the LMAC data and feeds it into the MSB/LSB separation block 504. For 118831.doc -24- 200803236 MSB, you can do it. RS, flat code 506 and external interleaver 510. For the LSB, the RS encoder 5〇8 and the external interleaver can be used. The breakdown circuit can be turned into a surface, and the P-interlaced 510 and 512.

The function of the device is to ensure that the tuples of the outer code are mapped to successive bits of the inner codeword, and that the consecutive bytes of the outer code are mapped to different inner codewords. The block interleaver requires There is almost no hidden body in the transmitter and the efficiency can be improved without zero insertion. The tail part can be easily added by the external interleaver. The cyclotron requires several shift registers in the transmitter and has zero In the case of insertion, the efficiency may be degraded. When using the convolutional interleaving, four 〇FDM symbols (symb〇1) may be required to transmit the initial/final zero in the shift register. The efficiency may be approximately 〇·5. The % is downgraded to about 2%. The block external interleaver 51A, 512 minimizes the memory requirements between the Reed-Solomon outer code and the internal whirling code. In one embodiment, the block interleaver depth (depth) is 4 and there are M = 4 internal cyclotron encoders for each external interleaver. External The block interleaver will operate at a depth of four for the HRp data. In one embodiment, the block interleaver can be implemented by a table of octets such that the number of rows is the same as the depth and the number of columns is The length of the De-Solomon code is the same: b(i,k),i = 〇,1,...,depth -1; k = 〇山·. ·, N -1 印,幻,机特别+7入.·.

In one embodiment, the parameters of the external interleaver are, K = 216 and N = 224. In another embodiment, the block interleaver is in the group of bits (referred to as Operation is performed on a byte. In another embodiment, each tuple has 8 bits or an octet. In another embodiment, each tuple has more than 1 bit. Figure 5B An example of a block interleaver code is shown. To reduce memory requirements, the following formula should be used for the mapping to the row and column of Figure 5B: i = floor {[l mod(depth * Μ)]/ Μ} k = M floor [l /(depth * M) +1 mod M 1 = 0 l "", -1 where / the number of octets depth * K at an external input of the interleaver. The external interleaver can output octets from the beginning i = 〇, 介 = 0 to the last i = 3 叩 / /2-7.

Tables 602 and 604 illustrate different parameters of the HRP in accordance with the present invention. Table 118831.doc -26-200803236 606 illustrates the HRP in different modes. Support rate. One embodiment of the HRP inner code circuit is illustrated in Figures 7 and 8. Figure 7 illustrates a circuit diagram 700 of an HRP inner code. The polynomial of (133, 171, 165) can be used to describe the inner code circuit. Figure 8 illustrates the HRP. The table of the code rate, breakdown field type and transmission sequence of the inner code circuit. The breakdown type means that the breakdown or deletion and the breakdown of the field type "1" means no breakdown or deletion. 3.9 Gps data rate, may require a cyclotron encoder In one embodiment, a base 4 accumulation-comparison-selection technique can be used at the receiver. The base 4 ACS processes 2 bits in each cycle. The required clock frequency is equal to 3.9 Gps divided by the decoder. For example, for 8 decoders, a clock of 244 MHz may be required. HRP data multiplexer 516 can combine data from 8 cyclotron encoders. The mode can be determined by EEP or UEP. In the EEP mode, a round robin mechanism is implemented to evenly allocate bits. In the UEP modulation mode, the MSB corresponds to the I branch of the QAM mapper, and the LSB corresponds to the Q branch of the QAM mapper. In the UEP coding mode, The strong MSB convolutional code causes the MSB bit at the input of the data multiplexer 516 to be more than the LSB bit. The block of 4 input bits (32 in total) of each of the 8 convolutional encoders can be represented. One of the field-through modes is full-cycle. The UEP coding mode can cause 28 MSB bits and 20 LSB bits at the output of the cyclotron encoder, which are mapped to 48 transmission bits scattered over I and Q. HRP bit interleaver 518 can spread bits from HRP data multiplexer 516 to QAM or QPSK Group/Q-branch. The MSB and LSB of the QAM cluster do not provide the same encoded BER. The bit interleaver ensures the same BER for each element stream from the same 118831.doc -27-200803236 inner code encoder The metastreams are mapped to an equal number of MSBs and LSBs of the qAM cluster.

To improve performance, the carrier interleaver maps the data to a distant DMFDM subchannel. In an embodiment, the Twisted Spiral Scanning Carrier Interleaver can include the following solutions: TMod(fl〇〇r^l4)*24W(k524), k^ /, where is the index of the output carrier tone and & is the index of the input carrier frequency. The above solution is illustrated graphically in Figure u. In an alternate embodiment, the carrier shift interleaver can be designed based on the bit reverse principle 118831.doc -28-200803236. In the actual implementation of IFFT, there is a one-bit inverse circuit before or after the IFFT calculation. In the bit-reverse circuit, the index of the input data first appears as a binary digit, and the resulting binary representation indicates that the legal system bit is inverted, and the reverse binary digit of the bit becomes the index of the output data. When using the bit-reverse carrier-frequency parental error, the carrier-shift interleaver and the IFFT calculation can be combined. The IFFT calculation circuit is embedded in a bit-inverse carrier-shift interleaver. The Dc, null, and pilot carrier tone are reversely positioned before the bit inserted into the carrier interleaver. In this way it is guaranteed that the DC, null and pilot carrier tones will appear in the pre-specified position after the alignment. Using the traveling pilot as will be described later, the bit reverse positioning for the pilot is sequentially changed in OFDM symbols. When used in a base 2 IFFT implementation (which uses multiple 2x2 basic architecture blocks), the bit reverse carrier interleaver can perform optimal operation. For example, for a base 8 IFFT implementation using multiple 8-shirt architecture blocks, the index of the input data should first be represented as an octet, and the octet inverse number as the output data. In this particular example, the octet reverse carrier interleaver provides the simplest implementation for combining the carrier interleaver and IFFT. HRP pilot 524 may include a rotating pilot mechanism to vary the pilot carrier per symbol, thereby allowing for better channel tracking of packets as necessary. This approach also avoids having to change the polarity of all pilots from one FDM symbol to the next OFDM pay according to the coverage sequence. The pilot value can be the same as the carrier frequency of the corresponding HRP preamble #5 (described later). The pilot carrier tone position can be defined by a symbol index starting with a preamble #5. For symbol=0:NsymboM,k=(.177+m〇d(3*symbol? 22):22:177), where k! = {-l,0,l}. According to an embodiment, the pilot rotational speed can be fixed, 118831.doc -29-200803236 to rotate each symbol by 3 bins. Conversely, if the pilot position is fixed, its value will need to change over time to avoid any spectral ripple effects. The HRP preamble can include 8 symbols. Symbols #1-#4 can be based on a PN sequence. Six consecutive m-sequences can be used in 4 symbols. Symbols #1-#4 can be used for packet detection, frame synchronization based AGC training. Symbol #5·#8 can be based on OFDM symbols and can be used for frequency offset estimation and channel estimation. According to an embodiment, scaling factor correction can be used to maintain the power of the eight preamble symbols the same as the remaining OFDM symbols used for data transmission. In one of these embodiments, the power of symbols #1-#4 can be 3 dB greater than the symbols #5-#8. Figure 12 illustrates one embodiment of an external FEC for an HRP header. The HRP header external FEC is somewhat similar to the external FEC for HRP data because it provides the same or better error protection as the data. It uses the same Reed-Solomon generator. It uses the same method to provide a tail element to terminate the whirling codeword. It uses the same Reed-Solomon decoder in the receiver. Four OFDM symbols can be used for the HRP header with 112 coded bytes at 1/4 rate. The HRP header FEC can use the same RS code generator polynomial as the data. The HRP header FEC may include 92 or more uncoded bytes. A coded branch may include four cyclotron encoders having four tail position tuples 1202. The depth of the HRP header FEC can be 2 bytes 1204 and 1206. The byte 1204 can include 44 data bytes, 8 parity bits, and tail location 1202. The byte 1206 can include 48 data bytes and 8 parity bits. The depth of the two block interleavers provides sufficient performance. Figure 13 illustrates one embodiment of an HRP data scrambler. A 15th polynomial (xI5+x14+l) can be used to improve the randomness of the transmitted data for HRP 118831.doc -30- 200803236. Figure 13 illustrates an initialization sequence with four bits at locations D12 through D15 (where D15 is first). Low Rate PHY (LRP) LRP can be used for MAC § hole frame transmission (eg, ack, beacon, discovery 4), for low rate (less than 4 Mbps) streams from A/V sources, for antenna manipulation and tracking The transmission of the data used. The LRP can be designed with a BPSK modulation based on OFDM of 128-point FFT and a gyro code of 1/3, 1/2 and 2/3 rates. The Wade-Solomon code is not required, because of the short message and the BER tolerance of the south. LRP can operate in three modes: lrp omnidirectional (long) mode, LRP beamforming mode, and LRP oriented (short) mode. These different modes are discussed further below. Figure 14 illustrates one embodiment of LRP Tx processing. LRP circuit can include scrambling code

Figure 15 illustrates a table of LRP feed rates. As shown, different lrp modes produce different LRP data rates. The LRP pilot and data carrier frequency can be defined as follows: 128-point FFT, 30 data carrier frequency modulation and 4 pilot carrier frequency adjustments, and three unused carrier frequency adjustments at DC (carrier frequency adjustment number -1 , 〇 and 1), the pilot carrier frequency adjustment can be modified, and the fixed pilot carrier frequency adjustment at the carrier frequency number -14, -6, 6 and 14 is at all other positions from -Η to +18. The data carries the tone. The LRP scrambler 1402 can use a 6th degree polynomial. The scrambler initialization field can be 4 bits. To initialize this polynomial, the 4-bit initialization field can be concatenated with the 01 bit. 118831.doc -31- 200803236 In LRP omni mode, the resulting signal is omnidirectional, with at least as large as the any-forward channel mode, allowing for a stronger eve than the forward channel. . The line rate in LRP omni mode can range from about 5 Μ to about 10 Mbps with a target BER of less than 1 〇·6. In LRp omni mode, each signal is transmitted multiple times using different antenna patterns. In one embodiment, the (four) solid + same antenna pattern is used to repeat the money 8 times. In an embodiment, different antenna patterns are orthogonal to one another. Therefore, each copy uses a different TX phased array setting (exchanged during the first cycle of the cycle). The receiver can use MRC or similar technology to combine the copies. Diversification of space helps maintain omnidirectional coverage.

Header 1604 is a long format having 30 bits encoded as 2 〇Fdm symbols having a 1/2 rate tail portion elementary convolutional code. When the tail element is used, the initial and final states of the whirling code are the same. In one embodiment, the last six information bits of the header can be used to initialize the state of the cyclotron encoder. The LRP full forward term 1602 can include two types: a long omnidirectional preamble and a short full forward term. The long full forward term can be about 56.67 microseconds. This type of preamble can be used for beacons and other LRP data packets that require blind timing synchronization.

The first three preamble segments 丨7〇2, 1704, and 1706 are composed of a sequence of offset-QPSK modulated chips (chip rate is 156.75 ΜΗζ (one of the sampling rate)). The chips are filtered to match the 91 MHz LRP transmission mask. The domain of the AGC and signal detection section 1702 contains 78 symbols, each of which is defined by Barker_13 for the I and Q components ([-1 -1 -1 -1 _ι 1 i -1 -1 1 -1 1 -1]) 1 or -1 dispersed by the chip sequence. The symbol sequence {Sk}(Sk=Tl) is constructed by differential encoding of 26 repetitions of the three symbol sequence J = [-1, 1, -1 ], specifically & = , center = 1. The domain of the coarse FOE (Frequency Offset Estimation) section 1704 contains 81 symbols, where each symbol is defined as 1 or _1 dispersed by the Buck-13 chip sequence for the I and Q components. The symbol sequence is constructed by the differential coding of 9 repetitions of the nine-symbol sequence /^7 = [-1 ·1 -1 -1 1 1 -1 1 -1], specifically, Ai + k^SM + kl Xh 'where S〇 is the last symbol of the previous field. The fields of the fine FOE and timing recovery section 1706 are comprised of a 1440 PN chip sequence for the I and Q components generated by the polynomial x72+;c"+/+x6+l under the initial conditions of 0xB95. The domain of the RX beamforming section 1708 consists of a 2560 PN chip sequence for the I and Q components, which is generated under the initial conditions of 101001 using polynomial +7. The AGC section 1710 is 20 repetitions of an OFDM training symbol of 32 samples long, which is equal to the IFFT of the following BPSK 32-point sequence: subcarriers 4 to 4 are equal to {1 1 1_10-1-1 1-1} and all others Equal to zero. 118831.doc -33- 200803236 The channel estimation section 1712 consists of 32 128 sample OFDM training symbols 'here each equals the following 128 points 3!> 8 £ sequence (previously 28 sample loop first code) IFFT : subcarrier 2-18 is equal to {1-1 i-1-i 1-1 1 1 1 1 1 1 -1 -1 1 1}, subcarrier _18 to _2 is equal to {_1 1 1 1 1 1 d 1 -1 1 -1 -1 -1 1 -1 1}, and all others are equal to zero. The TX antenna phased array field pattern can be varied at regular time intervals for each of the five fields in the LRP full forward term 16〇2. Therefore, for eight τχ antennas, the TX phased array is changed for every 78, 234, 160, 640, 64, and 156 samples for each of the above five domains. The short full forward term can be about 42.72 microseconds. This type of preamble can be used in the contention period (for slotted CSMA) and other LRP data packets that require only limited (+/_ 135 nanoseconds) timing synchronization. Figure 18 illustrates an embodiment of a short full forward term 1800 having six segments (13392 samples): AGC segment 1802, AGC segment 1804, signal detection and time synchronization segment 1806, RX beamforming Section 1808, AGC section 18 10 and channel estimation section 1812. The first four preamble fields 18〇2, 18 04, 1806, 1808 consist of a sequence of BPSK chips (chip rate 156.75 MHz (each chip equals 2 samples)), which are filtered To cover the 91 MHz LRP transmission mask. The chip sequence is generated by repeating the 63-tap M_ sequence to be specified. The first two domains, 1802 and 1804, are AGC fields with lengths of 336 and 2 64 chips, respectively. The third field 1806 is 720 chips in length and is used for debt measurement LRP packets and for timing synchronization in a window of -/+13 5 nanoseconds. The fourth field 1808 is 2560 chips in length and is used for rx beamforming. The second AGC field 1804 is a 32-sample length 〇fdm training symbol 118831.doc -34- 200803236 20 repetitions, which is equal to the following BPSK 32-point sequence IFFT: subcarriers _4 to 4 are equal to {1 1 l-lO -i-i丨·”, and all others are equal to zero. Channel estimation field 1812 consists of 32 128-sample OFDM training symbols, each of which is equal to the following 128-point BPSK sequence (previously 28 sample cycle first code) IFFT: Subcarrier 2-18 is equal to {1 -1 1 -1 -1 1 -1 1 1 1 i 1 1 -1"i 1}, subcarrier -18 to -2 is equal to {-1 1 1 1 1 1 -1 - 1 1 -1 i -ΐ ·ι < i -1 1}, and all others are equal to zero. The TX antenna phased array pattern can be changed at regular time intervals for each of the five fields in the short full forward term. Therefore, for eight ΤΧ antennas, the ΤΧ phased array is changed for every 32, 48, 160, 640, 64, and 156 samples for each of the above six domains. In the LRP beamforming mode, the same technique as hrp beamforming can be used. This mode is the highest data rate but is oriented and requires beam updates. Figure 19 illustrates an example of a data packet format 19 of LRP beamforming that includes a short preamble 1902, a header 1904, and a valid bearer 1906. Header 1904 can be 30 bits that are encoded as 3 symbols, which have a 1/3 rate tail elementary convolutional code. The LRP beamforming preamble 1902 allows for blind timing synchronization and has a structure similar to the HRP PDU preamble. Figure 20 illustrates one embodiment of an LRp beamforming preamble 2000. The LRP beamforming preamble 2〇〇〇 packet length is 7.96 耄 seconds (2496 samples)' and contains two fields: frame synchronization and agc domain 2004 and channel estimation domain 2006. Frame synchronization and AGC field 2004 consists of a sequence of BPSK chips (chip rate 156 75 MHz (each chip equals 2 samples)), which are filtered by 118831.doc -35-200803236 to match 91 MHz LRP transmission mask. The chip sequence is equal to 14 repetitions of the 63-tap M-sequence specified for 936 chips, where the sequence is modulated/multiplied by [1 1-1-1 1 1 1 111-1-1111], respectively. As illustrated in the sequence 2002 of Figure 20 (where the plus and minus signs mean that the corresponding samples are multiplied by 1 or -1, respectively), the channel estimation field 2006 repeats the time domain samples of the 128 OFDM training symbols by repetition (this Constructed in Table 3 5 in the frequency domain. In LRP directional mode, the resulting signal has a similar range as in the forward channel, requiring only "reverse, hardware (ie, less iRx/Tx). In LRP directional mode, the best antenna is used. The field pattern repeats each signal a plurality of times. In one embodiment, the optimal antenna pattern is selected from the eight possible antenna patterns used in the omni mode.

The directional LRP packet can be used as an ACK to confirm HRp or beamforming LRP, data packets with or without additional payload. Figure 21A illustrates a short 15-bit ACK header without a valid bearer. Figure 21B illustrates a 16-bit short ACK header with a valid bearer. The directional LRP short ACK header is encoded by a 1/2 rate tail element gyro code and transmitted by a 〇 FDM symbol. For a directional LRp packet with a payload (second format), the 位 bit selects one of the following two non-beamforming ρ Η data rates: 118831.doc -36 - 200803236 5 Mbps : mode bit = 0 10 Mbps : Mode Bit = 1 In LRP Orientation mode, information is encoded by a 2/3 rate convolutional code. If the tail part element can be used to reduce the number of OFDM symbols, the tail bit is used. Otherwise use at least 6 consecutive zeros to terminate the interleaving of the whirling code. For these packages, the postamble flag specifies a post-item (flag = l) or no (flag = 0) attached to the packet. Figure 22 illustrates a certain forward LRP packet preamble 2200. The LRPPDU preamble of the directed packet is 2.04 milliseconds (040 samples) in length and contains 5 OFDM training symbols as shown here. The first symbol 2202 is for AGC and the next 4 symbols are used for channel estimation and frequency offset estimation 2204. Pre-sets allow for limited (-/+150 nanoseconds) timing inaccuracies. Figure 23 illustrates antenna direction tracking for directional LRP packets. As mentioned, directional LRP packets are used for HRP or beamforming (BF) LRP packets. The packets use the best TX antenna direction from a group of up to 8 antenna directions, wherein optimizing the TX antenna direction needs to be tracked over time using a special frame structure as described in Figure 23. For each rule HRP / short - eight (:: ^ or beamforming 丄 10 > / short - eight (: 1 ^, can be formed as shown in Figure 23, 23 00. There is a pair with the following special structure HRP/short-ACK or beamforming-LRP/short-ACK frame, where HR/LR beam tracking and LR antenna direction tracking (ADT) occur as illustrated in 2302 of Figure 23. As shown, antenna direction tracking This occurs in two phases: (1) by optimizing the ΤΧ antenna direction by using a dedicated post-term and (2) by RX beamforming/tuning the selected ΤΧ antenna direction by using a dedicated preamble. .doc -37- 200803236 The selected antenna direction index between the above two phases is fed back from short ACK RX to short ACK TX via an HRP or beamforming LRP packet. Figure 24 illustrates a Tx antenna direction tracking post item 2400. The ΤΧ antenna direction tracking post-term for directional LRPPDU is attached to a directional LRP packet with payload. The TX ADT post-term is 9.24 microseconds (2896 samples) and contains three segments 2402, 2404, 2406. Two post-term fields 2404, 2406 follow a protection time of 2.04 milliseconds 2404 and consists of a sequence of BPSK chips (chip rate of 156.75 ΜΗζ (each chip equals 2 samples)), which are filtered to conform to the 91 MHz LRP transmission mask. The chip sequence is repeated Generated by a specified 63 tap M-sequence. The second field 2404 is used for AGC and has a length of 264 chips. The third field 2406 is 864 chips long and is used to select the best among the 8 antennas. TX diversity combination. The TX antenna phased array field type changes according to the regular time interval of the post item. For 8 TX antennas, the TX phased array is for every 48 and 192 of each of the above 2 domains respectively. The sample is changed. Figure 25 illustrates a Tx antenna direction tracking preamble 2500. The RX ADT preamble is added to the directional LRP packet without payload and used for RX beamforming for the selected TX antenna direction. This additional preamble consists of two sections 2502, 2504 (1152 samples) consisting of a sequence of BPSK chips (chip rate of 156.75 MHz (each chip equals 2 samples)). The chips are filtered to match the 91 MHz LRP transmission mask. The chip sequence This is generated by repeating a 63 tap M-sequence to be specified. The first field 25〇2 is used for AGC and has a length of 128 chips. The second field 2504 is 448 chips long and is used for rx beamforming. 118831.doc -38-200803236 After reading the foregoing description, many variations and modifications of the present invention will be apparent to those skilled in the art.
