3. doc.: IEEE 802.11-10/1243r0 SubmissionSlide 3 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 Nov, 2010

4. doc.: IEEE 802.11-10/1243r0 SubmissionSlide 4 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. Sun Bo, ZTE Corporation Nov, 2010
