Duplex mode enabling frame header

摘要

Apparatus, methods, and other embodiments associated with duplex mode enabling frame headers are described. According to one embodiment, an apparatus includes a transceiver and duplex logic. The duplex logic is configured to receive data to be transmitted by the transceiver to a device and generate a header for a frame. The header includes at least one bit that encodes information used to enable full duplex communication with the device. The duplex logic is configured to provide the frame to the transceiver to transmit the frame.

1. An apparatus, comprising:
a transceiver; and duplex logic including at least hardware connected to the transceiver, wherein the hardware is configured to:
receive data to be transmitted by the transceiver to a device, wherein the device is a remote device;generate a PHY header for a frame, where the PHY header includes at least a PHY Signal field that stores at least one reserved bit;set the at least one reserved bit in the PHY Signal field that encodes information used to enable full duplex communication with the device; andprovide the frame to the transceiver to transmit the frame to the device wherein the at least one reserved bit causes the device to communicate using full duplex communications.
