- FIG. 7 illustrates a method of obtaining a duration of a physical layer frame based on L_LENGTH by a legacy wireless communication terminal and a method of setting L_LENGTH according to an embodiment of the present invention.
- the wireless communication terminal communicates in units of OFDM symbols (hereinafter, symbols). Therefore, when the legacy wireless communication terminal calculates the duration of the physical layer frame, the legacy wireless communication terminal calculates the unit of the length of the symbol for transmitting the legacy physical layer frame. If the L_RATE field indicates 6 Mbps, the duration of one symbol modulated by 64 FFT is 4us. In this case, one symbol may transmit 3 bytes. The legacy wireless communication terminal divides the value of the L_LENGTH field by 3 bytes to convert the duration of the physical layer frame indicated by the L_LENGTH field into the number of symbols.
- the legacy wireless communication terminal adds the number of symbols corresponding to the duration of the tail field and the SVC (service) field excluded from the value of the L_LENGTH field to the number of symbols corresponding to the value of the L_LENGTH field.
- the duration of the Tail field and the SVC field can be treated as one symbol.
- the legacy wireless communication terminal multiplies the sum of the number of symbols previously obtained by 4us, which is the duration of one symbol, and adds the L-SIG field located before the L_LENGTH field and 20us, which is the transmission time of L-STF and L-LTF, to determine the physical layer frame. Obtain the full duration.
- the legacy wireless communication terminal acquires the entire duration of the physical layer frame using the following equation.
- [X] is a flooring operation that represents the smallest natural number greater than x. Since the L_LENGTH field is a 12-bit field, the maximum value of the L_LENGTH field is 4095. According to the above equation, 5.484ms is the maximum duration of the physical layer frame.
- the wireless communication terminal may set L_LENGTH based on an expression for obtaining the duration of the physical layer frame.
- the wireless communication terminal subtracts the L-SIG field located before the L_LENGTH field and 20us, which is the transmission time of L-STF and L-LTF, from the duration (TXTIME) of the physical layer frame as the number of symbols for transmitting the legacy signaling field. I can convert it.
