Solution Overview

Problem

Current wireless LAN systems face challenges in achieving low Peak to Average Power Ratio (PAPR) when transmitting OFDM packets through bonded channels, particularly in configuring an Enhanced Directional Multi Gigabit (EDMG) Short Training Field (STF) for efficient signal transmission and reception.

Innovation Solution

A method is proposed where a station configures an EDMG STF field for OFDM packets using a specific sequence format {A, 0, 0, 0, B} across three bonded channels, with A and B sequences being orthogonal and composed of repeating sequences of lengths 4, 3, and 3, to optimize power distribution and transmission efficiency.

1Productivity

If an EDMG STF field is configured for OFDM packet transmission through bonded channels, then transmission efficiency is improved, but Peak to Average Power Ratio (PAPR) increases

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies parameter changes by modifying the sequence structure of the EDMG STF field. Specifically, it configures the STF sequence with a format of {A, 0, 0, 0, B} where A and B are orthogonal sequences of length 595, and the non-zero values are configured based on repeating patterns of sequences with lengths 4, 3, and 3 with predetermined weights. This structural parameter change reduces PAPR while maintaining transmission efficiency through bonded channels.

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies segmentation by dividing the STF sequence into distinct segments with specific structures. The sequence is organized as {A, 0, 0, 0, B} where A and B are separate orthogonal sequences, and each contains repeating patterns of smaller sequences (lengths 4, 3, and 3). This segmentation approach manages signal complexity while enabling transmission through three bonded channels at high rates.
