摘要 A transceiver method and signal therefor embodied in a carrier wave for sending information from transmit stations to receive stations over a transmission medium of a frame-based communications network. The information is sent in transmit frames having a frame format comprising a fixed rate header, followed by a variable rate payload, followed by a fixed rate trailer. The fixed rate header includes a preamble. The preamble has a repetition of four symbol sequences for facilitating power estimation, gain control, baud frequency offset estimation, equalizer training, carrier sensing and collision detection. The preamble also includes a frame control field. The frame control field has scrambler control information for frame scrambling initialization, a priority field to determine the absolute priority a transmit frame will have when determining access to the transmission medium, a payload encoding field which determines constellation encoding of payload bits in the variable rate payload, and a header check sequence for providing a cyclic redundancy check. The variable rate payload is transmitted pursuant to dynamic adjustable frame encoding parameters for improving transmission performance for a transmit frame being transmitted from a transmitting station to a receiving station. The header also includes a destination address field, a source address field and an ethertype field.
