Claims
- 1. A method for optimizing communication in a wireless multicarrier communication system comprising:
transmitting a packet at a first rate; determining communication parameters based on the received packet; transmitting an acknowledgement comprising the communication parameters; and commencing communication based on the communication parameters.
- 2. The method of claim 1, further comprising determining a header field indicating the communication parameters being used for communication.
- 3. The method of claim 1, further comprising demodulating and decoding received data based on information in a header field.
- 4. The method of claim 1, further comprising switching to transmitting at a second rate if the packet is note received.
- 5. The method of claim 1, further comprising transmitting an acknowledgement indicating the packet was successfully received and to continue communications based on the communication parameters.
- 6. The method of claim 1, wherein the communication system comprises one or more stations, access points and legacy stations.
- 7. The method of claim 1, wherein an extended rate extended signal field identifies the communication parameters.
- 8. A system for optimizing communication in a wireless multicarrier communication system comprising:
means for transmitting a packet at a first rate; means for determining communication parameters based on the received packet; means for transmitting an acknowledgement comprising the communication parameters; and means for commencing communication based on the communication parameters.
- 9. A protocol that optimizes communication in a wireless multicarrier communication system comprising:
transmitting a packet at a first rate; determining communication parameters based on the received packet; transmitting an acknowledgement comprising the communication parameters; and commencing communication based on the communication parameters.
- 10. An information storage media comprising information that optimizes communication in a wireless multicarrier communication system comprising:
information that transmits a packet at a first rate; information that determines communication parameters based on the received packet; information that transmits an acknowledgement comprising the communication parameters; and information that commences communication based on the communication parameters.
- 11. A system that optimizes communications in a wireless multicarrier communication system comprising:
a transceiver that transmits a packet at a first rate; a communication parameter determination module that determines communication parameters based on the received packet; and a second transceiver that transmits an acknowledgement comprising the communication parameters, wherein the transceivers commence communication based on the communication parameters.
