CONTROL FRAME AGGREGATION FRAME
First Claim
1. A method for communicating a control aggregate frame from a first wireless device to a second wireless device, the method performed by the first wireless device and comprising:
- forming the control aggregate frame by aggregating a plurality of first control frames into the control aggregate frame, the control aggregate frame comprising;
a single media access control (MAC) header;
a plurality of first aggregation fields, each storing a control frame subtype for a corresponding one of the plurality of first control frames; and
a plurality of first payload fields, each storing a corresponding one of the plurality of first control frames; and
transmitting the control aggregate frame to the second wireless device.

Abstract
Systems and methods are disclosed that may communicate a control aggregate frame from a first wireless device to a second wireless device. A first wireless device may form a control aggregate frame by aggregating a plurality of first control frames into the control aggregate frame. The control aggregate frame may include a single media access control (MAC) header, a plurality of first aggregation fields, each storing a control frame subtype for a corresponding one of the plurality of first control frames, and a plurality of first payload fields, each storing a corresponding one of the plurality of first control frames. After generating the control aggregate frame, the first wireless device may transmit it to the second wireless device.
