METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR IMPROVING RESPONSIVENESS IN EXCHANGINGFRAMES IN A WIRELESS LOCAL AREA NETWORK

摘要

The method involves sending a request frame to a responder by an initiator, and sending a response frame to the initiator without sending a separate acknowledgement (ACK) frame for acknowledging receipt of the request frame. The response frame is sent by the responder within a short inter-frame spacing (SIFS) from time that the responder receives the request frame, where the responder has a request identity number in the response frame. An independent claim is also included for a wireless communication system comprising an initiator.
