A puncture pattern setting unit (620) searches for a puncture pattern for each integral multiple of the number of columns or for each divisor of the number of columns of a sub block matrix that forms a check matrix (H) of a QC-LDPC code, and a puncture unit (data reduction unit) (630) switches the puncture pattern for each integral multiple of the number of columns or for each divisor of the number of columns of the sub block matrix that forms the check matrix of the QC-LDPC code.

A method of extremely high coding rates for next-generation wireless local area network (WLAN) systems involves coding an input data at a first coding rate using codes designed for coding up to a second coding rate lower than the first coding rate to provide a coded data. The method also involves wirelessly transmitting the coded data.

A method of auto-detection of WLAN packets includes selecting a first Golay sequence from a first pair of Golay complementary sequences associated with first packet type, each Golay sequence of the first pair of Golay complementary sequences being zero correlation zone (ZCZ) sequences with each Golay sequence of a second pair of Golay complementary sequences associated with a second packet type, and transmitting a wireless packet carrying a short training field (STF) that includes one or more instances of the first Golay sequence.

A wireless communication device serving as an NG60 WiGig device includes a PPDU generator that generates an MF control PHY PPDU (physical layer protocol data unit) including a legacy preamble, a legacy header, an NG60 header (a non-legacy header), a data field, and identification information indicating that the non-legacy header is included in the PPDU and a transmitter that transmits the generated MF control PHY PPDU.

Certain aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to techniques for puncturing of structured low density parity check (LDPC) codes. A method for wireless communications by wireless node is provided. The method generally includes encoding a set of information bits based on a LDPC code to produce a code word, the LDPC code defined by a matrix having a first number of variable nodes and a second number of check nodes, puncturing the code word to produce a punctured code word, wherein the puncturing is performed according to a first puncturing pattern designed to puncture bits corresponding to one or more of the variable nodes having a certain degree of connectivity to the check nodes, and transmitting the punctured code word.
