<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for reducing the number of physical-layer frames employed to transfer a given amount of user data using frame aggregation in a packet network. <P>SOLUTION: A packet network might employ physical (PHY) and medium access control (MAC) layers of a wireless local area network (WLAN) operating in accordance with one or more IEEE 802.11 standards. Frame aggregation combines several separate, high-layer frames with user data into one PHY-layer frame, thus increasing the amount of user data per PHY-layer frame transmitted. The frame aggregation improves efficiency by reducing both PHY-layer overhead and MAC-layer overhead. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI</p> |
