1. A method of communicating a packet, the method comprising:
- generating, at a source device, a data packet for transmission via a wireless local area network, the data packet including a preamble and a data payload, the preamble including a first portion and a legacy preamble portion that precedes the first portion, wherein the first portion indicates that the data packet is a low rate packet, and wherein the data payload includes at least one data symbol that is duplicated multiple times in the data payload; and
transmitting the data packet from the source device to a destination device via the wireless network.

Abstract
A method includes generating a data packet at a source device for transmission via an Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers 802.11 wireless network. The data packet includes multiple data symbols that are duplicated in the data packet. At least a portion of a preamble of the data packet is not duplicated in the data packet. The portion of the preamble indicates that the packet is a low rate mode packet. The method also includes transmitting the data packet from the source device to a destination device via the wireless network.
