Abstract

Techniques relating to generating and receiving radio frames with multiple partitions are disclosed. A mobile device may include a wireless radio, one or more antennas, and one or more processors. In some embodiments, the mobile device is configured to receive a frame of wireless data that includes a plurality of partitions and partition data. In some embodiments, the plurality of partitions each include multiple orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) symbols, and different ones of the partitions have different frequency transform sizes (e.g., different FFT sizes). In some embodiments, the partition data indicates the frequency transform sizes for the ones of the partitions. In some embodiments, the mobile device is configured to select, based on the partition data, one or more of the plurality of partitions and decode the selected one or more partitions to determine data represented by the OFDM symbols in the selected one or more partitions.
