HIGH-EFFICIENCY WIRELESS LOCAL-AREA NETWORK DEVICES AND METHODS FOR ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS DURING SCHEDULED TRANSMISSION OPPORTUNITIES

摘要

Embodiments of a system and method for acknowledging frames in a wireless network are generally described herein. In some embodiments, a wireless communication device may include a transmit/receive unit configured to receive data from a sender. In some embodiments, the transmit/receive unit may be configured to receive a schedule. The transmit/receive unit may be further configured to acknowledge (ACK) the data in a first scheduled transmission to the sender. The first scheduled transmission to the sender may be determined based on the schedule. In some embodiments, the acknowledgement may be an acknowledgement frame or a block acknowledgment frame. The scheduled transmission to the sender may be determined based on the schedule.

主权项

1. A high-efficiency wireless local-area network (HEW) device, the HEW device comprising circuitry to:
receive one or more packets in a transmit opportunity (TXOP) from an access point (AP), wherein the one or more packets indicate a schedule for the HEW device to transmit a multi-user physical-layer convergence procedure protocol data unit (MU PPDU); and transmit an acknowledgement of the one or more packets in the MU PPDU.
