LINK ADAPTATION ENHANCEMENTS BASED ON MONITORING ACK/NACK FEEDBACK AND INDICATING WHETHER DATA TRANSMISSION IS ALLOWED DURING TXOP

摘要

An apparatus includes (a) a processing system configured to (i) obtain a TXOP, (ii) generate a plurality of first frames, wherein at least one first frame includes a control field having a first value and at least one first frame includes data and (iii) apply a first MCS to the first frames and (b) an interface configured to (i) output the modulated and coded first frames for transmission to a second apparatus during the TXOP, wherein the first value indicates the second apparatus can only transmit control information during the TXOP and (ii) obtain, during the TXOP, an ACK indicating data of at least one of the first frames was received by the second apparatus. The processing system is configured to determine a first error rate based on the ACK and compare the error rate to a target error rate and take one or more actions based on the comparison
