IMPROVED FRAGMENTATION FOR LONG PACKETS IN A LOW-SPEED WIRELESS NETWORK

摘要

The method includes generating a plurality of data fragments from a single data unit. The method also includes transmitting a plurality of data fragments to a receiver and receiving an acknowledgment from a receiver after transmitting the last data fragment of the plurality of data fragments. The method further comprises selectively resolving the acknowledgment as a multi-fragment acknowledgment (MFA) in response to the value of the fragment sequence number (FGSN) of the last data fragment. The MFA represents the reception or non-reception by each receiver of a plurality of data fragments of a single data unit.;
