  • IEEE 802.11 Workgroup ‘n’ has defined an A-MSDU (Aggregated MSDU) and an A-MPDU (Aggregated MDPU). At least one MSDU (which is a transmission unit) or at least one MPDU is aggregated even without IFS, and is transmitted in the process of one-time radio resource contention.

  • a wireless STA When a wireless STA acquires a TXOP in a wireless communication system (e.g. WLAN), the STA needs to receive a response through a response frame regarding a request frame in order to improve reliability of wireless communication. Examples include a CTS frame responding to a RTS frame and an ACK frame responding to a transmitted data frame.
  • a wireless communication system e.g. WLAN
  • the responses are classified into immediate responses and delayed responses.

  • the frame exchange sequence constitutes a pair, as described above.
  • the generated response frame may not include a transmission address.
  • a delayed response is used in the following manner: a response is made through an ACK frame as a basic response for informing of whether an initially generated request frame has been received or not, and a response frame including requested information is then transmitted.
  • the response frame in this case may be transmitted through EDCA (Enhanced Distributed Channel Access) regarding channels, piggybacked by another frame, or aggregated and transmitted together with another frame.
