1. An apparatus, comprising:
- a transceiver; and
a media access controller to connect to said transceiver, said media access controller to send a first physical protocol data unit having a first number of media access control protocol data units using said transceiver, receive an acknowledgement message to indicate a second number of media access control protocol data units received from said first physical protocol data unit, and select a third number of media access control protocol data units for a second physical protocol data unit using said second number.
