METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR RECEIVING DATA WITH DOWN COMPATIBILITY IN HIGH THROUGHPUT WIRELESS NETWORK

摘要

A method and apparatus are provided for enabling a legacy station to perform virtual carrier sensing when a plurality of stations with heterogeneous capabilities coexist in a wireless network. The method includes transmitting first data via a bonded channel which is formed by channel bonding first and second adjacent channels, and receiving an acknowledgement (Ack) frame via each of the first and second adjacent channels.
