Abstract
The present disclosure provides a wireless communication device, method, system and computer program product for supporting BA mechanism. The wireless communication method includes: receiving, from a peer wireless communication device, a support indication for sparse block acknowledgment (BA) bitmap condensation for a plurality of data frames to be communicated between the wireless communication device and the peer wireless communication device in a BA session; and transmitting, to the peer wireless communication device, a condensed BA bitmap for the BA session based on the support indication.
Claims20
A method for wireless communication implemented in a wireless communication device and comprising:
- receiving, from a peer wireless communication device, a support indication for sparse block acknowledgment (BA) bitmap condensation for a plurality of data frames to be communicated between the wireless communication device and the peer wireless communication device in a BA session;
- and
- transmitting, to the peer wireless communication device, a condensed BA bitmap for the BA session based on the support indication.
A wireless communication device comprising:
- one or more processors;
- a memory coupled to at least one of the processors;
- and
- a set of computer program instructions stored in the memory, which, when executed by at least one of the processors, perform actions of:
- receiving, from a peer wireless communication device, a support indication for sparse block acknowledgment (BA) bitmap condensation for a plurality of data frames to be communicated between the wireless communication device and the peer wireless communication device in a BA session;
- and
- transmitting, to the peer wireless communication device, a condensed BA bitmap for the BA session based on the support indication.
A computer program product for wireless communication, the computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, the program instructions executable by a processor of a wireless communication device to cause the processor to:
- receive, from a peer wireless communication device, a support indication for sparse block acknowledgment (BA) bitmap condensation for a plurality of data frames to be communicated between the wireless communication device and the peer wireless communication device in a BA session;
- and
- transmit, to the peer wireless communication device, a condensed BA bitmap for the BA session based on the support indication.
