Packet trains to improve packet success rate in carrier sense multiple access networks

摘要

In one embodiment, a communication device operates according to a particular frequency hopping sequence in a communication network, and receives a first packet with an indication that the first packet is part of a particular packet train, the packet train comprising a plurality of packets to be transmitted in succession. Accordingly, the communication device prevents transmission until receiving a final packet of the packet train, and stores received packets of the particular packet train while preventing the transmission.
