Abstract:
1. A method for generating a physical layer (PHY) data unit for transmission via a communication channel, the method comprising: encoding a plurality of information bits using a convolutional code (BCC) encoder to generate a plurality of BCC coded bits, wherein the BCC encoder continuously encodes incoming information bits information bits are to be included in the PHY data unit; partitioning the BCC coded bits into a plurality of blocks of BCC coded bits; encoding the plurality of blocks of BCC coded bits according to a block coding scheme to generate a plurality of block coded bits; mapping the plurality of block coded bits to a plurality of constellation symbols; generating a plurality of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbols based on the plurality of constellation symbols; and generating the PHY data unit to include the plurality of OFDM symbols.
