Methods, systems and apparatuses for direct data frames

A system for communication of a packet with a direct medium access control data frame, the system comprising:

• a medium access control sublayer logic to generate data for a signal field of a preamble and to communicate with physical layer logic, an indication that the data is for the direct medium access control data frame;
• and
• the physical layer logic to generate the preamble with the data in the signal field in response to the indication that the data is for the direct medium access control data frame to form the packet, and to set a bit in a preamble, in response to the indication, the bit being defined to indicate that the packet is the direct medium access control data frame;
• and
• an antenna coupled with the physical layer logic to transmit the packet.

A method for communication of a packet with a direct medium access control data frame, the method comprising:

• receiving, by a physical layer logic, a packet comprising a medium access control sublayer frame in a signal field of a preamble;
• determining, by physical layer logic, based upon a bit in the preamble, an indication that the frame is the direct medium access control data frame;
• communicating, by the physical layer logic with the medium access control sublayer logic, that the frame is the direct medium access control data frame and the data from the signal field;
• determining, by the medium access control sublayer logic, based upon the communication from the physical layer logic, the frame structure of the data from the signal field to parse and interpret the data.
