Figure 3-5 CCK Modulation<br />

HR-DSSS PHY is de<strong>fi</strong>ned as the data rate equal to 5.5 or 11 Mbps. It also contains two<br />

parts, PLCP <strong>and</strong> PMD. PLCP is in charge <strong>of</strong> framing <strong>and</strong> PMD is response for transmission.<br />

3.3.1.4.5. PLCP <strong>and</strong> PMD <strong>of</strong> HR-DSSS<br />

The structure <strong>of</strong> HR-DSSS PLCP is show in Figure 3-6[17]. It is very similar to DSSS-<br />

PLCP, the only difference being in preamble. Its preamble is called short preamble. This kind <strong>of</strong><br />

preamble could improve the ef<strong>fi</strong>ciency <strong>of</strong> PLCP framing.<br />

For backward compatibility, the HR-DSSS PMD can support both low (1, 2 Mbps) <strong>and</strong> high<br />

(5.5, 11 Mbps) transmission. The only difference is low speed must uses long preamble while<br />

high speed uses short one. In addition, for high speed, the framed data <strong>wi</strong>ll be encoded by CCK<br />

modulation before transmitting. At 5.5 Mbps, each symbol has four data bits <strong>and</strong> at 11 Mbps,<br />

each symbol has eight data bits.<br />
