According to the Notice on the Use of 5.8GHz Band (XINBUWU [2002] No.277), the system uses 5.725GHz~5.850GHz band. The OFDM system provides a wireless LAN with data payload communication capabilities of 6, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36, 48, and 54Mbit/s. The support of transmitting and receiving at data rates of 6, 12, and 24Mbit/s is mandatory. The system uses 52 subcarriers that are modulated using binary or quadrature phase shift keying (BPSK or QPSK) or using 16- or 64-quadrature amplitude modulation (16-QAM or 64-QAM). Forward error correction coding (convolutional coding) is used with a coding rate of 1/2, 2/3, or 3/4. 6.1.1 Scope This subclause describes the PHY services provided to the wireless LAN MAC by the 5.8GHz (bands) OFDM system. The OFDM PHY consists of two protocol functions, as follows: a) A PHY convergence function, which adapts the capabilities of the PMD system to the PHY service. This function is supported by the PLCP, which defines a method of mapping the PSDUs into a framing format suitable for sending and receiving user data and management information between two or more stations using the associated PMD system. b) A PMD system whose function defines the characteristics and method of transmitting and receiving data through a WM between two or more stations, each using the OFDM system. 6.1.2 OFDM PHY functions The 5.8GHz OFDM PHY architecture is depicted in the reference model shown in Figure 11 (in 5.8) of GB 15629.11-2003. The OFDM PHY contains three functional entities: the PMD function, the PHY convergence function, and the layer management function. Each of these functions is described in detail in 6.1.2.1 through 6.1.2.4. The OFDM PHY service is provided to the MAC through the PHY service primitives described in Clause 12 of GB 15629.11-2003. 6.1.2.1 PLCP sublayer In order to allow the MAC to operate with minimum dependence on the PMD sublayer, a PHY convergence sublayer is defined. This function simplifies the PHY service interface to the MAC services. 6.1.2.2 PMD sublayer The PMD sublayer provides a way to send and receive data between two or more stations. This clause is concerned with the 5.8GHz band using OFDM modulation. 6.1.2.3 PHY management entity (PLME) The PLME performs management of the local PHY functions in conjunction with the MAC management entity (MLME). 6.1.2.4 Service specification method The models represented by figures and state diagrams are intended to be illustrations of the functions provided. It is important to distinguish between a model and a real implementation. The models are optimized for simplicity and clarity of presentation; the actual method of implementation is left to the discretion of the GB 15629.1101 OFDM-PHY-compliant developer. The service of a layer or sublayer is the set of capabilities that it offers to a user in the next higher layer (or sublayer). Abstract services are specified here by describing the service primitives and parameters that characterize each service. This definition is independent of any particular implementation. 6.2 OFDM PHY Specific Service Parameter List 6.2.1 Introduction The architecture of the MAC in this part is intended to be PHY independent. Some PHY implementations require medium management state machines running in the MAC sublayer in order to meet certain PMD requirements. These PHY-dependent MAC state machines reside in a sublayer defined as the MLME. In certain PMD implementations, the MLME may need to interact with the PLME as part of the normal PHY-SAP primitives. These interactions are defined by the PLME parameter list currently defined in the PHY service primitives as TXVECTOR and RXVECTOR. The list of these parameters, and the values they may represent, are defined in the specific PHY specifications for each PMD. This subclause addresses the TXVECTOR and RXVECTOR for the OFDM PHY. 6.2.2 TXVECTOR parameters The parameters in Table 1 are defined as part of the TXVECTOR parameter list in the PHY-TXSTART.request service primitive.
