System and method of transmitting and receiving data frames

A wireless device operable to transmit a data frame, the wireless device comprising:

• means for transmitting a preamble;
• means for transmitting a physical layer convergence protocol (PLCP) header;
• and
• means for transmitting a plurality of MAC protocol data units (MPDUs), wherein each MPDU includes an indication for a receiver to reset a convolutional decoder state after that MPDU.

A wireless device operable to transmit a data frame, the wireless device comprising:

• a processor, wherein the processor is operable to:
• transmit a preamble;
• transmit a physical layer convergence protocol (PLCP) header;
• and
• transmit a plurality of MAC protocol data units (MPDUs), wherein each MPDU includes an indication for a receiver to reset a convolutional decoder state after that MPDU.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising:

• at least one instruction for transmitting a preamble;
• at least one instruction for transmitting a physical layer convergence protocol (PLCP) header;
• and
• at least one instruction for transmitting a plurality of MAC protocol data units (MPDUs), wherein each MPDU includes an indication for a receiver to reset a convolutional decoder state after that MPDU.
