- and
- a step in which the wireless communication device sends the information whenever there is room for the information in the communication signal before padding the communication signal.
A wireless communication device, comprising:
- means for creating or obtaining information for inclusion in a communication signal to be transmitted to another wireless communication device according to a protocol requiring the communication signal to have a fixed size selected from a set of possible fixed sizes and padded as necessary to have the selected fixed size;
