7. doc.: IEEE 802.11-01/618r0 Submission November 2001 Srikanth Gummadi, TI Summary Proponents of CCK-OFDM –PBCC at the TX comes for “free” –No known implementation of CCK-OFDM –No new clocking Proponents of PBCC –Need to incorporate the complex CCK-OFDM TX –Change to the existing chip is required –Complex clocking required (11 MHz -> 20 MHz) This potential consensus solution will provide the opportunity to allow the industry to move forward rapidly with a known direction
