Offering 802.11 MAC Frame Transport over Multiband OFDM for Consumer Devices
Robert Simon Sherratt, Lin-Peng Gao · 2006
A method to map all the variants of the IEEE 802.11 MAC frames into the multiband OFDM based ECMA-368 physical standard is proposed, without contravening the standard. The transportation of IEEE 802.11 MAC frames over ECMA-368 allows for the migration current of wireless LAN applications towards a wireless personal area network (WPAN) solution. This system benefits the consumer electronics market as the high data-rate WPAN is capable of transporting broadcast-quality video while the same system can also transport existing applications available today, maintaining existing effort, products and backward-compatibility
