Abstract
Some demonstrative embodiments include devices, systems and/or methods of communicating aggregate data units. For example, a device may include a wireless communication unit to communicate an aggregate data unit including a plurality of data units in an increasing order of sequence numbers assigned to the data units, such that a first data unit having a first sequence number always precedes a second data unit having a second sequence number, greater than the first sequence number.
Claims25
A wireless apparatus comprising:
- a radio component configured to perform communications by a wireless station;
- and
- a processing component configured to cause the wireless station to transmit, at a start of a Transmit Opportunity (TxOP) or a Service Period (SP), an aggregate data unit having only a normal acknowledge (ACK) policy, when at least one frame in a last Physical Layer Protocol Data Unit (PPDU) did not require an immediate response, the aggregate data unit comprising a plurality of data units in an increasing order of sequence numbers of said data units.
A product comprising one or more tangible computer-readable non-transitory storage media comprising computer-executable instructions operable to, when executed by at least one computer processor, enable the at least one computer processor to implement one or more operations at a wireless station, the operations comprising:
- constructing an aggregate data unit comprising a plurality of data units in an increasing order of sequence numbers of said data units;
- and
- when at least one frame in a last Physical Layer Protocol Data Unit (PPDU) did not require an immediate response, allowing the wireless station to transmit the aggregate data unit at a start of a Transmit Opportunity (TxOP) or a Service Period (SP) only when the aggregate data unit has a normal acknowledge (ACK) policy.
A wireless apparatus comprising:
- a memory component;
- and
- a processing component configured to trigger a wireless station to construct an aggregate data unit comprising a plurality of data units in an increasing order of sequence numbers of said data units, and, when at least one frame in a last Physical Layer Protocol Data Unit (PPDU) did not require an immediate response, to allow the wireless station to transmit the aggregate data unit at a start of a Transmit Opportunity (TxOP) or a Service Period (SP) only when the aggregate data unit has a normal acknowledge (ACK) policy.
