Abstract

A method and a device for detecting a preamble type of a wireless data frame are provided. The preamble has a synchronization (SYNC) field and a start frame delimiter (SFD) field, and the method comprises following steps. The wireless data frame is first received, and then determined whether the wireless data frame has a short preamble. When the wireless data frame has the short preamble, the wireless data frame is transmitted to a MAC device. In addition, if the wireless data frame does not have the short preamble, it determines whether the wireless data frame has a long preamble. When the wireless data frame has the long preamble, the wireless data frame is then transmitted to the MAC device.
