ROBUST CODING IN MULTI-HOP NETWORKS

摘要

The present invention relates to a method and apparatus which make use of a multiple receiver (MR) frame aggregation for creating data units so that they require acknowledgment of a single packet data unit by a group of several intended receivers. A multi-hop topology information regarding the neighborhood of a destination node can be used to derive the intended receivers which acknowledge a packet transmission besides the primary destination node of the packet.
