Abstract
The present invention provides a control method of a wireless communication module, wherein the control method includes the steps of: receiving target end time information of a PPDU, and estimating a symbol count of the PPDU according to the target end time information; determining a duration of a packet extension of the PPDU; refining at least one of a padding factor, the duration of packet extension, and the symbol count of the PPDU, wherein the padding factor indicates invalid data information of the PPDU; generating an alignment setting comprising a final symbol count of the PPDU, the duration of packet extension, and the padding factor of the PPDU; and aggregating a plurality of MPDUs to generate the PPDU according to the alignment setting.
