Short training field (STF) for use within single user, multiple user, multiple access, and/or MIMO wireless communications
First Claim
1. A wireless communication device comprising:
- a communication interface; and
a processor, at least one of the processor or the communication interface configured to;
generate an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) packet that includes at least one field having information modulated on a plurality of sub-carriers, wherein the plurality of sub-carriers has a tapered power profile such that a first sub-carrier located at a first edge of the plurality of sub-carriers and a second sub-carrier located at a second edge of the plurality of sub-carriers have relatively less power than at least one other sub-carrier of the plurality of sub-carriers that is located between the first sub-carrier and second sub-carrier, wherein first average power of a first field of the OFDM packet is relatively greater than second average power of a second field of the OFDM packet; and
transmit the OFDM packet to another wireless communication device.

Abstract
Short training field (STF) for use within single user, multiple user, multiple access, and/or MIMO wireless communications. An STF design as is made such that the power associated with the tone indices at the edges of the STF design is relatively less than the power associated with the tone indices more centrally located within the STF design. Also, when multiple respective operational modes are supported (e.g., 1 MHz and 2 MHz), the respective STF designs corresponding to those respective operational modes have a great deal of similarity. For example, the respective STF designs for different respective operational modes may have certain common STF tone indices among those respective STF designs.
