Abstract
Methods, apparatus, and systems disclosed provide for the configuration of acknowledgments of data. In some aspects, a method includes generating an aggregated media access control (MAC) protocol data unit (A-MPDU) frame, comprising a media access control protocol data unit (MPDUs), the media access control protocol data unit (MPDUs) comprising a media access control (MAC) header and data, wherein the media access control (MAC) header comprises an indication of an acknowledgment type for the data of the MPDU; and transmitting the A-MPDU onto a wireless network.
Claims24
A method of wireless communication, comprising:
- generating an aggregated media access control (MAC) protocol data unit (A-MPDU) frame, comprising:
- a first MAC protocol data unit (MPDU) comprising a first MAC header including a first traffic identifier and indicating a first acknowledgment type for the first traffic identifier;
- and
- a second MPDU comprising a second MAC header including a second traffic identifier and indicating a second acknowledgment type for the second traffic identifier, wherein the second traffic identifier is different than the first traffic identifier and the second acknowledgment type is different than the first acknowledgment type;
- transmitting the A-MPDU onto a wireless network;
- receiving a first acknowledgement of the first MPDU for the first traffic identifier in accordance with a first number of bytes allocated for the first acknowledgement type;
- and
- receiving a second acknowledgement of the second MPDU for the second traffic identifier in accordance with a second number of bytes allocated for the second acknowledgement type.

- and
- a second MPDU comprising a second MAC header including a second traffic identifier and indicating a second acknowledgment type for the second traffic identifier, wherein the second traffic identifier is different than the first traffic identifier and the second acknowledgment type is different than the first acknowledgment type;
- a transmitter configured to transmit the A-MPDU onto a wireless network;
- and
- a receiver configured to:
- receive a first acknowledgement of the first MPDU for the first traffic identifier in accordance with a first number of bytes allocated for the first acknowledgement type;
- and
- receive a second acknowledgement of the second MPDU for the second traffic identifier in accordance with a second number of bytes allocated for the second acknowledgement type.
