Abstract

See full text

In a wireless multi-rate communications system, a method for extending the range of communications in the system by dividing the physical layer frame into two portions: a robust header portion and a body, where the repetition rate of the data symbols in the header portion is greater than or equal to the repetition rate of the data symbols in the body of the frame. In this way the header can be received and decoded by all stations in the system with a high probability, while the body of the frame need only be received and decoded by the destination station to which the body of the frame is intended to be received and decoded.
