Description

The hybrid front-synchronous code of MIMO wireless communications
Technical field
The present invention relates to wireless communication system, relate in particular to a kind of wireless communication system of in WLAN (wireless local area network), supporting a plurality of wireless communication protocols.
Background technology
As everyone knows, communication system can be supported the wireless and wire communication between wireless and/or the wire communication facility.Such communication system from domestic and/or international cellular telephone communication system to the internet to point-to-point indoor wireless networks.Every kind of communication system is all constructed and is moved in view of the above according to one or more communication standards.For example, wireless communication system can be according to one or more standard operations, and these standards include but not limited to: IEEE802.11, bluetooth, advanced mobile phone service (AMPS), digital AMPS, global system for mobile communications (GSM), code division multiple access (CDMA), LMDS (LMDS), Multichannel, Multipoint Distribution System (MMDS) and/or its variation.
Type according to wireless communication system, a Wireless Telecom Equipment, for example cell phone, intercom, PDA(Personal Digital Assistant), PC (PC), kneetop computer, home entertainment device etc. can be communicated by letter with other Wireless Telecom Equipment directly or indirectly.For direct communication (being also referred to as point-to-point communication), the Wireless Telecom Equipment that participates in communication is transferred to identical channel (for example, in a plurality of radio frequencies (RF) carrier wave of wireless communication system) with their receiver and reflector, and by this channel communication.For indirect radio communication, each Wireless Telecom Equipment is directly communicated by letter with relevant base station (for example base station, cellular service) and/or relevant access point (for example indoor or wireless network that building is interior) by channel appointed.In order to finish the communication between the Wireless Telecom Equipment, relevant base station and/or relevant access point be by system controller, by public switched telephone network, by the internet, and/or other wide area network direct communications each other by some.
For each communication equipment that participates in radio communication, all comprise built-in wireless transceiver (just receiver and reflector) or continuous with relevant wireless transceiver (for example, the cordless communication network station in the indoor and/or building, RF modulator-demodulator etc.).Road as known, reflector comprises data-modulated level, one or more intermediater-frequency stage and power amplifier.The data-modulated level is converted to baseband signal according to specific wireless communication standard with initial data.These one or more intermediater-frequency stages are mixed baseband signal with one or more local oscillators, to generate the RF signal.Before by the antenna emission, power amplifier amplifies the RF signal.
Road as known also, the receiver that links to each other with antenna comprise that low noise amplifier, one or more intermediater-frequency stage, filtering stage and data recover level.Low noise amplifier is by antenna reception of inbound RF signal, then with its amplification.These one or more intermediater-frequency stages are mixed the RF signal that amplifies with one or more local oscillators, thereby the RF conversion of signals of amplifying is become baseband signal or intermediate frequency (IF) signal.Filtering stage to weaken unwanted out of band signal, generates filtered signal to baseband signal or IF signal filtering.Data are recovered level according to specific wireless communication standard, recover initial data from filtered signal.
Road as known also, the standard that Wireless Telecom Equipment is deferred in wireless communication system is transformable.For example, IEEE 802.11 standards are evolved to IEEE 802.11b from IEEE 802.11, to IEEE802.11a, to IEEE 802.11g, the Wireless Telecom Equipment of deferring to IEEE 802.11b may be present in the identical wireless lan (wlan) with the Wireless Telecom Equipment of deferring to IEEE 802.11g.As another example, the Wireless Telecom Equipment of deferring to IEEE 802.11a may be present in the identical wireless lan (wlan) with the Wireless Telecom Equipment of deferring to IEEE 802.11g.When legacy version equipment (just, defer to those equipment than the older version standard) when being present among the identical WLAN with the equipment of deferring to later release criteria, need to use a kind of mechanism to guarantee that legacy version equipment knows that the equipment of more recent version when is using wireless channel, to avoid conflict.
For example, the back compatible with legacy version equipment realizes at physics (PHY) layer (under the situation of IEEE 802.11b) or medium access control (MAC) layer (under the situation of IEEE 802.11g).At the PHY layer, realize back compatible by the PHY layer preamble of standard before utilizing again.In this case, will the decode preamble portion of all signals of legacy version equipment, this is for determining whether wireless channel provides enough information in use in certain period of time, even therefore legacy version equipment can not perfect restitution and/or the frame that is transmitted of decoding, also can avoid conflict.
At the MAC layer, use used pattern or the data transfer rate of legacy version equipment to send special frame by the equipment of forcing to defer to the redaction standard, thus the back compatible of realization and legacy version equipment.For example, the equipment of more recent version can send clear to send/request and send (CTS/RTS) switching frame and/or clear to send to self (CTS to self) frame, as adopting among the IEEE 802.11g.These special frames comprise the information of the NAV (network allocation vector) that sets legacy version equipment, make these equipment know when wireless channel is used by the equipment of more recent version.
Do not have back compatible and the equipment that uses independently of one another with respect to those, the mechanism of existing two kinds of back compatibles all has loss on performance.
Therefore, need a kind of can be in wireless communication system---comprise in the WLAN (wireless local area network), support various protocols method and apparatus.
