I found the paper. And it doesn't look like they are tweaking what they send. Rather they are looking at multiple copies of the same packet. And there is a special parity packet that they send (additional overhead, but there really isn't such thing as a free lunch).
I'm not sure what they are doing with the preamble. Typically one doesn't get the preamble out of the 2420.
