Apparatus, system and method of communicating a physical layer convergence procedure (plcp) protocol data unit (ppdu)

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 operations at a first wireless station, the operations comprising:

• transmitting a first physical layer convergence procedure (PLCP) protocol data unit (PPDU) to a second wireless station, the first PPDU comprising a preamble, a header, and a first PLCP Service Data Unit (PSDU), the header comprising a synchronization (sync) indicator to indicate that the second wireless station is to synchronize a second PPDU to the first PPDU;
• and
• receiving the second PPDU from the second wireless station, the second PPDU spaced from the first PPDU by less than a Short Inter Frame Space (SIFS), the second PPDU comprising a Byte Count, and a second PSDU, the second PPDU comprising no preamble or a short preamble, which is shorter than the preamble of the first PPDU.

An apparatus comprising circuitry and logic configured to cause a first wireless station to:

• receive a first physical layer convergence procedure (PLCP) protocol data unit (PPDU) from a second wireless station, the first PPDU comprising a preamble, a header, and a first PLCP Service Data Unit (PSDU), the header comprising a synchronization (sync) indicator to indicate that the first wireless station is to synchronize a second PPDU to the first PPDU;
• and
• transmit the second PPDU to the second wireless station, the second PPDU spaced from the first PPDU by less than a Short Inter Frame Space (SIFS), the second PPDU comprising a Byte Count, and a second PSDU, the second PPDU comprising no preamble or a short preamble, which is shorter than the preamble of the first PPDU.
