Abstract
A method for transmitting an aggregated frame is disclosed. The method includes: estimating channel condition; comparing the channel condition with first threshold for selecting an aggregation scheme; and comparing the channel condition with second threshold, which is different with the first threshold, for selecting an aggregation scheme; performing the aggregation using the selected aggregation scheme with position information, which indicates the positions of sub-frame in the aggregated frame.
Claims16
A system for frame aggregation and transmission, comprising:
- a memory;
- and
- a processor operatively coupled to the memory to:
- estimate a channel condition metric indicative of at least one channel condition;
- select at least one frame aggregation scheme from a plurality of aggregation schemes based on the channel condition metric, wherein the plurality of aggregation schemes include at least one of a two-level aggregation scheme, wherein the two-level aggregation scheme comprises a maximum second stage aggregate level (MSAL) strategy aggregation scheme and a biggest first stage aggregate size (BFAS) strategy aggregation scheme, the MSAL strategy aggregation scheme decreases a first stage aggregation frame length of the two-level aggregation scheme, and the BFSA strategy aggregation scheme performs first stage frame aggregation of the two-level aggregation scheme based on a maximum frame length;
- and
- perform frame aggregation based on the selected frame aggregation scheme.
