METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PACKET AGGREGATION ACCORDING TO TRAFFIC CHARACTERISTICS

摘要

A method and apparatus for packet aggregation is provided. The apparatus for packet aggregation may include an upper layer management unit to generate a plurality of Media Access Control (MAC) Service Data Units (MSDUs) and traffic characteristic information of each of the plurality of MSDUs; a MAC layer management unit to determine a sequence number of each of the plurality of MSDUs based on the traffic characteristic information of each of the plurality of MSDUs, and to generate an aggregated MAC Protocol Data Unit (MPDU) based on the sequence number of each of the plurality of MSDUs; and a physical (PHY) layer management unit to transmit the aggregated MPDU to a destination.
