Abstract: Examples described herein relate to a method of handling block acknowledgements. A transmitting device transmits a first packet to a receiving device in response to determining that a count of unacknowledged frames is smaller than a threshold value. In particular, the transmitting device configures the first packet such that the receiving device does not need to send a block acknowledgement (BA) immediately after receiving the first packet. Further, before transmitting any additional packet to the receiving device, the transmitting device may again ascertain whether the count of the unacknowledged frames is smaller than the threshold value. In response to determining that the count of the unacknowledged frames is greater than or equal to the threshold value, the transmitting device transmits a second packet requesting an immediate BA. The transmitting device may receive a BA for the unacknowledged frames in response to receipt of the second packet by the receiving device.
