The present specification relates to a method for transmitting and receiving signals in a wireless local area network (WLAN) system and an apparatus therefor, the method comprising the steps of: generating a training sub-field consisting of a certain number of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbols; and transmitting, to a second STA, a signal including a header field and the training sub-field, wherein the transmitted signal is repeatedly transmitted T times (where T is a natural number) on the basis of information indicated by the header field after a data field.

Methods and devices for receiving or transmitting a wireless packet are described. A wireless packet includes a short training field (STF) and a channel estimation field (CEF). The receiver determines whether the received STF matches an assigned STF assigned for a target link, by performing cross-correlation between the STF and a component sequence from a set of at least four different component sequences which are pairs of Golay sequences. The cross-correlation output is compared with an expected output. When the received STF matches the assigned STF, the wireless packet is considered a target packet. A channel estimation is performed using a cross-correlation of the received CEF with an assigned CEF assigned for the target link. The assigned CEF is from a set of two or more CEFs, where each CEF is formed using the set of component sequences, and the CEFs are pairwise zero-correlation zone (ZCZ) sequences.

An example method includes generating, by a transmit end of a transceiver, N.sub.T beam training sequences, where each beam training sequence includes a cyclic prefix and a Golay sequence with a length of 2NL, and where the N.sub.T Golay sequences are orthogonal to each other. The transmit end can then send the N.sub.T beam training sequences to a receive end by using the N.sub.T transmit antennas at the transmit end, where each transmit antenna sends one corresponding beam training sequence.

Some demonstrative embodiments include apparatus, system and method of communicating a transmission according to a symbol block structure and Guard Interval (GI) scheme. For example, an apparatus may include logic and circuitry configured to cause a wireless station to generate a plurality of Single Carrier (SC) blocks according to a SC block structure corresponding to a GI type of a plurality of GI types, a SC block of the plurality of SC blocks including a GI followed by a data block, the GI including a Golay sequence having a length based at least on the GI type, a length of the data block is based at least on the GI type; and to transmit a SC transmission over a millimeter Wave (mmWave) frequency band based on the plurality of SC blocks.

This disclosure describes the generation and implementation of Golay sequences and Golay Sequence Sets (GSSs) for channel estimation in wireless networks. In one embodiment, this disclosure describes an extension of the Golay sequences Ga and Gb defined in various legacy standards to GSSs. In various embodiments, the disclosed GSSs can include a number of Golay complementary pairs (e.g., Ga and Gb). In one embodiment, the disclosed Golay complementary pairs can meet various predetermined design rules and can be used to define enhanced directional multi-gigabit (EDMG) short training field (STF) and/or channel estimation field (CEF) fields for multiple-input and multiple-output (MIMO) transmission.

A method by which a first wireless device tracks a channel in a wireless AV system, according to one embodiment of the present invention, comprises the steps of: receiving a radio signal including a first part related to a preamble and a second part related to a data block and a GI; estimating an initial channel on the basis of the preamble; estimating a residual channel on the basis of the GI, wherein a reconstruction sequence reconstructed on the basis of a Golay sequence having a predetermined length is applied to the GI; and updating a channel on the basis of first information acquired on the basis of the initial channel estimation and second information acquired on the basis of the residual channel estimation.

An apparatus of a transmitter may include, for example, a Golay builder to build modulated Golay sequences for at least a non-EDMG Short Training Field (L-STF), and a non-EDMG Channel Estimation Field (L-CEF) of a PPDU; a scrambler to generate scrambled bits by scrambling bits of a non-EDMG header (L-header) and a data field of the PPDU; an encoder to encode the scrambled bits into encoded bits according to a low-density parity-check (LDPC) code; a constellation mapper to map the encoded bits into a stream of constellation points according to a constellation scheme; a spreader to spread the stream of constellation points according to a Golay sequence; and a transmit chain mapper to map a bit stream output from the Golay builder and the spreader to a plurality of transmit chains by applying a spatial expansion with relative cyclic shift over the plurality of transmit chains.

Various embodiments are generally directed to an apparatus, method and other techniques to perform beamforming training in a MIMO environment. Some embodiments may include communicating one or more beamforming refinement packets having training subfields with orthogonal structures such that devices may simultaneously perform beamforming training for each pair of phased array antennas. Embodiments may also include the beamforming refinement packets with channel estimation fields with orthogonal structures.

Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide an apparatus for wireless communication. The apparatus may generally include a processing system configured to generate a frame comprising a first sequence and a conjugate of the first sequence; and an interface configured to output the frame for transmission to a wireless node, wherein the first sequence and the conjugate of the first known sequence are simultaneously transmitted via first and second transmit chains. The first sequence maybe known by the wireless node prior to the transmission.
