DYNAMIC CONFIGURATION OF A FLEXIBLE ORTHOGONAL FREQUENCY DIVISION MULTIPLEXING PHY TRANSPORT DATA FRAME PREAMBLE

Abstract:

A method for operating a transmitting device to communicate with a receiving device is described herein. The method includes the step of the transmitting device selecting a root index value from a set of root index values. The method further includes the step of the transmitting device generating a frequency domain Constant Amplitude Zero Auto-Correlation sequence based on the selected root index value. The method further includes the step of the transmitting device modulating the Constant Amplitude Zero Auto-Correlation sequence by a pseudo-noise sequence. The method further includes the step of the transmitting device generating an Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing symbol, wherein the frequency domain Constant Amplitude Zero Auto-Correlation sequence modulated by the pseudo-noise sequence defines subcarrier values for the Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing symbol. The method further includes the step of the transmitting device transmitting the Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing symbol as an initial Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing symbol of a preamble of a frame to the receiving device.
