Wireless local area network medium access control extensions for station power efficiency and resource management

摘要

An aggregated medium access control (MAC) frame for use with multiple transmission rates in a wireless communication system includes an aggregated header; at least one MAC protocol data unit (MPDU), the MPDUs being grouped together in the frame by transmission rate of the MPDU; and a separating sequence between each rate group. The aggregated header includes a count field to indicate a number of rates that have been aggregated in the frame and an information group for each rate that has been aggregated in the frame.
