ERP-OFDM format

The ERP-OFDM format is similar to the 802.11a OFDM PPDU format. The only change is that a signal extension field is added to the OFDM format of 802.11a as is done for all other 802.11g PPDU formats. Hence, the PHY RX_END indication is provided 6 microseconds after the end of the last symbol of the received frame.

The OFDM Frame format is shown below
