1. Nov, 2010 Preamble for 120MHz Authors: Date: 2010-11-10 Sun Bo, ZTE Corporation

3. Nov, 2010 Abstract • In R3.1.E: The draft specification shall include support for an efficient channelization in China’s (5,725 ~ 5,850 MHz) spectrum. • 802.11ac is supposed to provide very high throughput, which requires to use wideband as much as possible. Following the Chinese spectrum and the existing 11ac tone allocations, we propose 802.11ac to support the 120 MHz PHY transmission. • Preamble have been defined for 80MHz and 160MHz (see ref. [1]). To support potential 120MHz transmission, this proposal put forward some preamble designs for 120MHz transmission. Sun Bo, ZTE Corporation

4. Nov, 2010 120MHz PHY Transmission • Two feasible options for 120MHz PHY transmission: • Option 1: Tone allocation for 120 MHz transmissions consists of one 80 MHz tone and one 40 MHz tone allocation in frequency. • Option 2: Tone allocation for 120 MHz transmissions consists of a single120 MHz tone allocation in frequency. • To acquire more data tones and higher throughput, we prefer a single120 MHz tone allocation in frequency.

11. Nov, 2010 VHT LTF sequence structure • Assuming the VHT-LTF structure of previous slide, to minimize the PAPR, we need to optimize • Missing tone values • 20 MHz phase rotations, [c1 c2 c3 c4 c5 c6] • where S are 20MHz phase rotations, and interp120NullL, interp120NullR are LTF sequences for all possible missing tone values.
