Method and Apparatus for Sending and Receiving Signaling in Wireless Local Area Network - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18166763 titled 'Method and Apparatus for Sending and Receiving Signaling in Wireless Local Area Network

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a method for generating a physical protocol data unit (PPDU) for a downlink multiple-user transmission in a Wi-Fi network. The PPDU includes a legacy preamble, two high efficiency Wi-Fi signaling fields (HEW-SIG1 and HEW-SIG2), and a data portion. The HEW-SIG1 includes a modulation and coding scheme (MCS) field and a frame structure indication field, while the HEW-SIG2 includes resource indication information. The method also involves sending the PPDU.
