1. A method of wireless communication, comprising:
- receiving a first frame having a control field and a frame control field, wherein the control field and the frame control field are separate fields;
determining whether the control field comprises a first type or a second type based at least in part on an indication in the control field, wherein the first type is very high throughput (VHT) and the second type is high throughput (HT); and
processing the control field based on the determined type, wherein the first frame is a wrapper frame that comprises the control field and a second frame, and further comprising processing the second frame based on the determined type, wherein the wrapper frame comprises one or more bits in a location of the control field corresponding to a reserved subfield of the control field.

12. An apparatus for wireless communication, comprising:
-
a circuit configured to receive a first frame having a control field and a frame control field, wherein the control field and the frame control field are separate fields; and a processor configured to; determine whether the control field comprises a first type or a second type based at least in part on an indication in the control field, wherein the first type is very high throughput (VHT) and the second type is high throughput (HT); and process the control field based on the determined type, wherein the first frame is a wrapper frame that comprises the control field and a second frame, and wherein the processor is further configured to process the second frame based on the determined type, wherein the wrapper frame comprises one or more bits in a location of the control field corresponding to a reserved subfield of the control field. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17)

18. An apparatus for wireless communication, comprising:
-
a circuit configured to receive a first frame having a control field and a frame control field, wherein the control field and the frame control field are separate fields; and a processor configured to; determine whether the control field comprises a first type or a second type based at least in part on an indication in the control field, wherein the first type is very high throughput (VHT) and the second type is high throughput (HT); and process the control field based on the determined type, wherein the first frame is a wrapper frame that comprises the control field and a second frame, and wherein the processor is further configured to process the second frame based on the determined type, wherein the indication comprises a bit within the control field, and wherein the processor is further configured to; evaluate the bit within the control field; and determine that the second frame is a VHT control frame based on the evaluation. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20, 21)
