REDUCING THE IMPACT OF SUBCARRIER QUALITY EVALUATION

摘要

In one embodiment, a device may select, based on an optimal tone map, a particular subcarrier for use when transmitting a data frame, the data frame to serve as a tone map request (TMREQ). The device may then populate one or more unused quality subcarriers of the TMREQ data frame other than the particular subcarrier with a well-known bit sequence, and transmits the TMREQ data frame to a receiving device to cause the receiving device to evaluate transmission quality of the one or more unused quality subcarriers based on the well-known bit sequence.
