Patent ID: 7423968

Claim:
A method for transmitting over a high-throughput communication channel comprising: transmitting a high-throughput packet with a time offset between some portions of the packet transmitted on a first subchannel and some portions of the packet transmitted on a second subchannel, the time offset to convey additional signaling information, wherein transmitting comprises: transmitting first portions of the high-throughput packet on the first subchannel of the high-throughput channel; transmitting second portions of the high-throughput packet on the second subchannel of the high-throughput channel, wherein the second portions are transmitted with the time offset with respect to the transmitting of the first portions; and transmitting third portions on both the first and second subchannels without the time offset therebetween, the time offset to convey at least one bit of additional signaling information to a high-throughput receiving station by detection of the time offset.
