60 GHZ NUMEROLOGY FOR WIRELESS LOCAL AREA NETWORKS (WLANS) - A simplified explanation of the abstract
- This abstract for appeared for US patent application number 17727634 Titled '60 GHZ NUMEROLOGY FOR WIRELESS LOCAL AREA NETWORKS (WLANS)'
Simplified Explanation
This disclosure presents methods, devices, and systems for increasing carrier frequencies in wireless local area networks (WLANs) for wireless communications. The focus is on packet designs and numerologies that support wireless communications on frequencies above 7 GHz. The wireless communication device can up-clock a physical layer (PHY) convergence protocol (PLCP) protocol data unit (PPDU) to be transmitted on frequencies above 7 GHz while conforming to the existing PPDU format used for frequencies below 7 GHz. Up-clocking refers to increasing the frequency of a clock signal used to convert the PPDU between the frequency domain and the time domain. This up-clocking may result in a subcarrier spacing (SCS) of 1.2 MHz or greater, which represents the spacing between the subcarriers used for modulating the PHY preamble of the PPDU.
Original Abstract Submitted
This disclosure provides methods, devices and systems for increasing carrier frequencies for wireless communications in wireless local area networks (WLANs). Some implementations more specifically relate to packet designs and numerologies that support wireless communications on carrier frequencies above 7 GHz. In some aspects, a wireless communication device may up-clock a physical layer (PHY) convergence protocol (PLCP) protocol data unit (PPDU) for transmission on carrier frequencies above 7 GHz, where the PPDU conforms to an existing PPDU format associated with carrier frequencies below 7 GHz. As used herein, the term “up-clocking” refers to increasing the frequency of a clock signal used to convert the PPDU between the frequency domain and the time domain. In some aspects, the up-clocking may result in a subcarrier spacing (SCS) greater than or equal to 1.2 MHz, where the SCS represents a spacing between the subcarriers on which a PHY preamble of the PPDU is modulated.
