Patent Images
1. A method for communicating with a wireless communication system through a wireless client, the method comprising:
- associating a wireless client with a wireless communication system;
configuring the wireless client to switch from operating in a first transmission mode to a second transmission mode, wherein the first transmission mode includes receiving packets comprising header information in accordance with a communication protocol specified for the first transmission mode, and the second transmission mode includes receiving real-time data packets that do not contain the header information in accordance with the communication protocol specified for the first transmission mode;
at the wireless client operating in the second transmission mode, receiving one or more real-time data packets transmitted from the wireless communication system, each real-time data packet containing real-time data in an uncompressed format; and
sending an acknowledgement (ACK) packet for each real-time data packet correctly received by the wireless client.
