A method is used for frequency offset estimation in a wireless communication network that employs time based scheduling of packets. The method is performed by a packet receiver in the wireless communication network. The method includes receiving a packet from a packet transmitter. The packet includes a preamble that is composed of samples of a single orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing symbol. The preamble has a cyclic prefix (CP) defined by a repetition of samples from an end-portion of the preamble and the preamble, except for the CP, is free from any repeated sequence of samples. The method also includes determining a sequence of similarity measure values between the CP of the preamble and the end-portion of the preamble, applying a low-pass filter to the sequence of similarity measure values, resulting in a filtered sequence of similarity measure values, and performing frequency offset estimation on the filtered sequence of similarity measure values.

A method of transmitting a Physical Layer Convergence Procedure (PLCP) frame in a Very High Throughput (VHT) Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) system includes generating a MAC Protocol Data Unit (MPDU) to be transmitted to a destination station (STA), generating a PLCP Protocol Data Unit (PPDU) by adding a PLCP header, including an L-SIG field containing control information for a legacy STA and a VHT-SIG field containing control information for a VHT STA, to the MPDU, and transmitting the PPDU to the destination STA. A constellation applied to some of Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplex (OFDM) symbols of the VHT-SIG field is obtained by rotating a constellation applied to an OFDM symbol of the L-SIG field.

A high-speed digital transmitter for wireless communication systems includes a plurality of transmitter chain circuits configured to respectively receive incoming component signals having a first frequency and to produce outgoing transmission signals having a second frequency greater than the first frequency in a first domain. In some aspects, the incoming component signals are up-sampled to the second frequency using a plurality of streams processed concurrently at a predetermined sample rate over a predetermined number of interpolation filter stages in each of the plurality of transmitter chain circuits. The high-speed digital transmitter also includes a serializer configured to combine the outgoing transmission signals from the plurality of transmitter chain circuits into a serialized transmission signal having a third frequency greater than the second frequency in a second domain different from the first domain.
