Management or action frame exchanging method for use in wireless LAN, involves sending request frame to responder, and sending response frame to initiator without sending separate acknowledgement frame

摘要

The method involves sending a request frame to a responder by an initiator, and sending a response frame to the initiator without sending a separate acknowledgement (ACK) frame for acknowledging receipt of the request frame. The response frame is sent by the responder within a short inter-frame spacing (SIFS) from time that the responder receives the request frame, where the responder has a request identity number in the response frame. An independent claim is also included for a wireless communication system comprising an initiator.
