  • Publication number: 20230148403
    Abstract: A physical layer protocol data unit (PPDU) may include legacy preamble fields followed by a universal signal field (U-SIG). For an extended range (ER) transmission, the U-SIG is encoded to indicate via a bit whether the PPDU is an ER PPDU or a non-ER PPDU. When the U-SIG is encoded to indicate that the PPDU is an ER PPDU, the PPDU may include ER preamble fields following the U-SIG and an ER data field following the ER preamble fields. The ER preamble fields may comprise pre-ER modulated fields followed by ER modulated fields. The pre-ER modulate fields may comprise an ER short training field (ER-STF) followed by an ER long training field (ER-LTF) followed by an ER signal field (ER-SIG). The ER modulated fields may comprise at least the ER data field.
