ABSTRACT:
A modified preamble is used by extended devices that operate in mixed mode environments and green field environments, to accommodate beamforming of transmissions. In one process, an extended wireless device processes data for transmission of that data as a packet, wherein the extended wireless device is a device configured to communicate using a standard protocol understood by each node device and an extended protocol not understood by legacy node devices. If the packet is to be directed at an extended device, the extended wireless device sends a preamble of that packet that is usable in an extended mode at extended devices and usable at a receiving legacy device to determine that the receiving legacy device is not the destination of data to follow the preamble. Once the receiving legacy device is expected to be deferring the network, the extended wireless device can beamform its signal or otherwise vary from the legacy protocol in communications with extended devices.
