First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method comprising:
- determining that an error control mechanism is enabled for transmission of a data frame;
fragmenting the data frame into a plurality of coding blocks; and
appending a frame check sequence to one or more sequences of the coding blocks, wherein each of the sequences associated with the frame check sequence is to be acknowledged separately.

Abstract
An approach is provided for acknowledgement signaling. A determination is made whether an error control mechanism is enabled for transmission of a data frame. The data frame is fragmented into a plurality of coding blocks. A frame check sequence is appended to one or more sequences of the coding blocks, wherein each of the sequences associated with the frame check sequence is to be acknowledged separately.
