Electronic apparatus and wireless communication method

Abstract

According to one embodiment, an electronic apparatus includes controller circuitry, transmitter circuitry, and receiver circuitry. The controller circuitry is configured to judge whether a payload for a first packet comprises retransmission data; set a first PHY header for the first packet, when the payload does not comprise the retransmission data; set a second PHY header for the first packet, when the payload includes the retransmission data, wherein the second PHY header comprises an amount of information larger than an amount of information of the first PHY header; and generate the first packet comprising the payload and either one of the first PHY header or the second PHY header set for the first packet. The transmitter circuitry is configured to transmit the first packet. The receiver circuitry is configured to receive an ACK signal or a NACK signal for the first packet.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
