Abstract:
1. A method for wireless communication, the method comprising: transmitting, over a communication channel, a first packet comprising a training sequence repeated a number of times and a first data portion; determining information identifying a characteristic of the communication channel, the characteristic indicating a quality of the communication channel; determining an increased or decreased indication of whether a second packet transmitted over the communication channel is decodable by a receiver based on the characteristic indicating the quality of the communication channel; determining whether a modulation rate for the second packet satisfies a threshold modulation rate; modifying the number of times to repeat the training sequence in the second packet based on the increased or decreased indication of whether the second packet transmitted over the communication channel is decodable and further based on determining whether the modulation rate satisfies the threshold modulation rate, the training sequence comprising at least one or more of a short training field or a long training field, wherein the number of times to repeat the training sequence is modified by increasing or decreasing the number of times to repeat the training sequence; and transmitting the second packet comprising the training sequence repeated the modified number of times and a second data portion.
