Abstract: A multiple-input multiple output (MIMO) transmitter and methods for transmitting orthogonal frequency division multiplexed (OFDM) symbols with cyclic-delay diversity (CDD) are generally described herein. In some embodiments, a base station uses a number of antennas for MIMO transmission of OFDM symbols. For the number of antennas, quadrature-amplitude modulated (QAM) symbols are distributed across a group of OFDM tones of a block comprising the group of tones and a group of OFDM symbols. An incremented cyclic delay is applied to the QAM symbols of the block associated with each subsequent of the antennas for CDD transmission. Each blocks is transmitted by an associated one of the antennas.

Abstract: In a wireless local area network (WLAN) that includes high-throughput communication devices with multiple antennas and legacy communication devices with single antennas, training tones are transmitted over a plurality of spatial channels during a first portion of an orthogonal frequency division multiplexed (OFDM) packet-training preamble. The training tones are interspersed among subcarrier frequencies of the spatial channels. The training tones are retransmitted during a second portion of the packet-training preamble. The training tones are shifted among the subcarrier frequencies of the spatial channels during the retransmission allowing a high-throughput receiving station to perform a channel estimation on different subcarrier frequencies of the spatial channels. The legacy communication devices may receive and process the training tones and may set their network allocation vector to refrain from communicating during a subsequent interval.

Abstract: A multiple output transmitter is configured for transmitting a single input data stream over two or more spatial channels using OFDM signals. The transmitter includes a commutator to select bits from the single input data stream for two or more bit streams and two or more encoders each to encode bits of one of the bit streams. The commutator operates at a bit rate and sequentially provides the selected bits of the input data stream to the encoders. A spatial bit sequencer selects groups of encoded bits from each of the encoders and assigns individual bits of a selected group at the bit-rate to block permuters in a sequential manner to distribute bits from the selected group across the block permuters. The block permuters produce interleaved blocks of bits for an associated spatial stream. The commutator assigns bits of the input bit stream to more than one encoder to allow each encoder to operate at a lower rate.

The TDD channel comprises a plurality of the groups of the OFDM subcarriers, and the OFDM subcarriers within each group of subcarriers and within each group of sequential OFDM symbols have the same spatial-frequency subcarrier modulation assignments.
