Abstract
A method and system for packet communication in a wireless system, implementing a process for aggregating multiple data units into a single aggregated frame, transported as payload in a carrier frame having a header, and separately protecting said header and payload with error recovery information for transmission over a wireless channel. The process further includes transmitting the carrier frame from a sender to a receiver over a wireless channel, using the error recovery information to detect if a data unit in the payload was received in error, and informing the sender to selectively retransmit a correct copy of the data unit received in error.
Claims90
A method of packet communication in a wireless system, comprising the steps of:
- aggregating multiple data units into a single aggregated frame transported as payload in a carrier frame having a header;
- and
- separately protecting said header and a payload with error detection information for transmission over a wireless channel.
A wireless communication system comprising:
- a wireless transmitter that includes:
- an aggregation module that is configured to aggregate multiple data units into a single aggregated frame transported as payload in a carrier frame having a header;
- and
- a protection module that is configured to separately protect said header and payload with error detection information for transmission over a wireless channel;
- a wireless receiver that includes:
- a receiving module that is configured to receive a carrier frame comprising a data payload and error detection information, from the transmitter over a wireless channel;
- and
- an error detection module that is configured to use the received error recovery information to detect if a data unit in the payload was received in error, and inform the transmitter to selectively retransmit a correct copy of the data unit received in error.

- and
- a protection module that is configured to separately protect said header and payload with error detection information for transmission over a wireless channel.
A wireless receiver comprising:
- a receiving module that is configured to receive a carrier frame comprising a data payload and error detection information over a wireless channel;
- an error recovery module that is configured to use the received error detection information to detect if a data unit in the payload was received in error, and request selective retransmission of a correct copy of the data unit received in error.
