APPLICATION AND METHOD OF INTER-FRAME GAP REDUCTION IN LOW-POWER TIME-SYNCHRONIZED NETWORKS

摘要

Techniques are disclosed for reducing the amount of overhead transmitted in ad-hoc low-power wireless networks. Embodiments generally include aggregating a plurality of data packets and prepending and appending each with associated data. The plurality of data packets then can be inserted into a single data frame, or packet for transmission. Gaps may be inserted between the data packets for timing synchronization and/or other purposes.
