WIRELESS COMMUNICATION METHODS AND DEVICES, AND COMPUTER-READABLE IMMUTANT STORAGE MEDIA

Abstract

The invention proposes systems, methods, and machines for wireless communication, and a non-continuous storage medium readable by a computer. The example machine selects a resource unit (RU) for the protocol data unit of the physical layer convergence protocol (PLCP) (PLCP protocol data unit - PPDU). The selected RU comprises a continuous set of sounds spread across the bandwidth. The machine maps the continuous set of sounds to a discontinuous set of sounds distributed across the entire frequency spectrum, and transmits the PPDU on the discontinuous set of sounds. Another example machine selects a RU from a group of RUs that together spread across the frequency spectrum, and formats the PPDU based on a first-order frequency bandwidth wider than the bandwidth of the selected RU. The analyzer selects the continuous tones of R as a discontinuous set of tones spread over a single segment of the second frequency bandwidth wider than the first frequency bandwidth, and schedules the PPDƯ transmission over this discontinuous set of tones.
