AI summary

A method and system for transmitting uncompressed video information from a sender to a receiver over a wireless channel is described. Uncompressed video information bits are provided at the sender and the video information bits are packetized into one or more packets. A preamble to precede the data in each packet is provided, where the preamble includes a set of short training sequences and a set of long training sequences. Multiple packets are transmitted from the sender to the receiver over a wireless channel. In certain embodiments, the set of short training sequences includes seven short training sequences and the set of long training sequences includes two long training sequences, and the total length of the preamble is five orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) symbols long.
