Patent attributes
A transmitting device may perform mid-packet detection (MPD) in a wireless channel by receiving a signal from the wireless channel, detecting first symbols having a first symbol duration in the signal during a first detection window, and detecting second symbols having a second symbol duration in the signal during a second detection window. The first and second symbol durations, excluding CPs, may be 3.2 and 12.8 microseconds respectively. A transmitting device may perform MPD in a wireless channel by receiving a signal from the channel, performing an MPD of symbols in the signal, producing first and second comparison result by comparing an output of the MDP to respective first and second thresholds, and determine whether to transmit a frame using the first comparison result and the second comparison result.
