In a system in which both the media access layer and the physical layer use error control, information from the physical layer error control process is used to provide surrogate media access layer error control messaging. In one aspect, the physical layer error control state machine in the transmitting station sends the surrogate message internally to the media access layer error control state machine based on physical layer error control results, thereby eliminating a need to transmit the error control messaging from the media access layer error control state machine of the receiving station over the wireless link.
