Solution Overview

Problem

Current WLAN standards face challenges in reducing channel estimation time and improving efficiency, which is crucial for maintaining communication quality amidst interference.

Innovation Solution

The proposed communication method generates a first sequence based on a complete complementary code set, determined through a Kronecker product operation involving a Golay pair and a Hadamard matrix, and uses this sequence for channel estimation, target sensing, or time synchronization, thereby avoiding the use of a P-matrix.
