wlanLLTF

Generate L-LTF waveform

Description

example

y= wlanLLTF(cfg)generates anL-LTF[1]time-domain waveform for the specified configuration object.

Examples

collapse all

Generate the L-LTF for a 40 MHz single antenna VHT packet.

cfgVHT = wlanVHTConfig('ChannelBandwidth',“CBW40”); y = wlanLLTF(cfgVHT); size(y)
ans =1×2320 1
plot(abs(y)) xlabel('Samples') ylabel('Amplitude')

The output L-LTF waveform contains 320 time-domain samples for a 40 MHz channel bandwidth.

L-LTFtime-domain waveform, returned as anNS-by-NTmatrix.NSis the number of time-domain samples, andNTis the number of transmit antennas.

NSis proportional to the channel bandwidth. The time-domain waveform consists of two symbols.

“CBW40” 320
'CBW80' 640
'CBW160' 1280

L-LTF

The legacy long training field (L-LTF) is the second field in the 802.11™ OFDM PLCP legacy preamble. The L-LTF is a component of VHT, HT, and non-HT PPDUs.

Channel estimation, fine frequency offset estimation, and fine symbol timing offset estimation rely on the L-LTF.

The L-LTF is composed of a cyclic prefix (CP) followed by two identical long training symbols (C1 and C2). The CP consists of the second half of the long training symbol.

The L-LTF duration varies with channel bandwidth.

Channel Bandwidth (MHz) Subcarrier Frequency Spacing,ΔF(kHz) Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) Period (TFFT= 1 /ΔF) Cyclic Prefix or Training Symbol Guard Interval (GI2) Duration (TGI2=TFFT/ 2) L-LTF Duration (TLONG=TGI2+ 2 ×TFFT)
20, 40, 80, and 160 312.5 3.2 μs 1.6 μs 8 μs
10 156.25 6.4 μs 3.2 μs 16 μs
5 78.125 12.8 μs 6.4 μs 32 μs

Algorithms

TheL-LTFis two OFDM symbols long and follows the L-STF of the preamble in the packet structure for the VHT, HT, and non-HT formats. For algorithm details, refer to IEEE Std 802.11ac™-2013[1], Section 22.3.8.2.3 and IEEE Std 802.11-2012[2], Section 20.3.9.3.4.
