Abstract:
1. A method comprising: selecting, at a transmitter, tone scaling parameters for use in communicating a packet via a sub-one gigahertz wireless network operating at a particular bandwidth, wherein the tone scaling parameters are selected based at least in part on a frame format of the packet and the particular bandwidth, wherein the frame format includes a single user frame format or a multi user frame format; generating the packet, wherein generating the packet comprises scaling fields of the packet in accordance with the selected tone scaling parameters; and sending the packet from the transmitter to a receiver, wherein, when the frame format is the single user frame format, the selected tone scaling parameters include a signal field (SIG) tone scaling parameter that is different than a data portion tone scaling parameter for at least one of a plurality of bandwidths greater than one megahertz, and wherein, when the frame format is the multiple user frame format, the selected tone scaling parameters include:
