Abstract
A minimum block acknowledgement (BA) window size is calculated for use during a BA transaction based on the processing delay of an originator device. The actual BA window size that is used during the BA transaction is not allowed to fall below the minimum value. The actual BA window size is determined as a function of the receive buffer size of a recipient device involved in the BA transaction.
Claims29
A method comprising:
- initiating a block acknowledgement (BA) transaction between an originator device and a recipient device;
- calculating a minimum BA window size for said BA transaction based on a processing delay of said originator device;
- and
- calculating an actual BA window size to use during said BA transaction as a function of a receive buffer size associated with said recipient device.

An apparatus comprising:
- a wireless transceiver to support wireless communication with one or more remote wireless entities;
- and
- a medium access control (MAC) subsystem, coupled to said wireless transceiver, to establish a block acknowledgement (BA) transaction with a remote device, calculate a minimum BA window size for said BA transaction based on a processing delay of said apparatus;
- and calculate an actual BA window size to use during said BA transaction as a function of a receive buffer size associated with said remote device.
1 more element
A system comprising:
- at least one dipole antenna;
- a wireless transceiver, coupled to said at least one dipole antenna, to support wireless communication with one or more remote wireless entities;
- and
- a MAC subsystem, coupled to said wireless transceiver, to establish a block acknowledgement (BA) transaction with a remote device, calculate a minimum BA window size for said BA transaction based on a processing delay of said system;
- and
- calculate an actual BA window size to use during said BA transaction as a function of a receive buffer size associated with said remote device.

An article comprising a storage medium having instructions stored thereon that, when executed by a computing platform, operate to:
- establish a block acknowledgement (BA) transaction with a remote device;
- calculate a minimum BA window size for said BA transaction based on an originator processing delay;
- and
- calculate an actual BA window size to use during said BA transaction as a function of a receive buffer size associated with said remote device.
