Abstract:
A wireless network includes a first station and a second station. The first station includes a media access control circuit configured to provide a frame of data to be transmitted on a communication channel, and a physical layer device configured to receive the frame of data and transmit the frame of data on the communication channel. The frame of data is transmitted according to a first short interframe space (SIFS) or a second SIFS, and the first SIFS has a duration that is different from that of the second SIFS. The second station is configured to determine whether the first station transmitted the frame of data according to the first SIFS or the second SIFS and transmit a response to the frame of data based on the determination of whether the first station transmitted the frame of data according to the first SIFS or the second SIFS.
