Description

example

info = wlanS1GOFDMInfo(field,cfg) returns info, a structure containing orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) information for the input field of a sub-1-Ghz (S1G) transmission parameterized by configuration object cfg.

example

info = wlanS1GOFDMInfo(field,cfg,OversamplingFactor=osf) returns OFDM information for the specified oversampling factor. For more information about oversampling, see FFT-Based Oversampling.

Generate a WLAN waveform for an S1G transmission.

cfg = wlanS1GConfig;
bits = [1;0;0;1];
waveform = wlanWaveformGenerator(bits,cfg);

Obtain the field indices and extract the S1G-SIG field.

ind = wlanFieldIndices(cfg);
rx = waveform(ind.S1GSIG(1):ind.S1GSIG(2),:);

Perform OFDM demodulation on the S1G-SIG field.

sym = wlanS1GDemodulate(rx,'S1G-SIG',cfg);

Get the OFDM information, then extract the data and pilot subcarriers.

info = wlanS1GOFDMInfo('S1G-SIG',cfg);
data = sym(info.DataIndices,:,:);
pilots =  sym(info.PilotIndices,:,:);

Get OFDM information for the S1G-Data field in a transmission with specified channel bandwidth and oversampling factor.

Create a WLAN S1G format configuration object, specifying the channel bandwidth.

cfg = wlanS1GConfig('ChannelBandwidth','CBW1');

Specify an oversampling factor.

osf = 1.5;

Return and display the OFDM information for the S1G-Data field.

info = wlanS1GOFDMInfo('S1G-Data',cfg,OversamplingFactor=osf);

FFT-Based Oversampling

An oversampled signal is a signal sampled at a frequency that is higher than the Nyquist rate. WLAN signals maximize occupied bandwidth by using small guardbands, which can pose problems for anti-imaging and anti-aliasing filters. Oversampling increases the guardband width relative to the total signal bandwidth, thereby increasing the number of samples in the signal.

This function performs oversampling by using a larger IFFT and zero pad when generating an OFDM waveform. This diagram shows the oversampling process for an OFDM waveform with NFFT subcarriers comprising Ng guardband subcarriers on either side of Nst occupied bandwidth subcarriers.
