ABSTRACT:
In a wireless network system comprising a wired backbone network, an access point, and one or more associated wireless unit data coupled to the access point by way of a wireless transmission medium, a method of enabling fragmentation of data packet above a fragmentation threshold in one or more wireless units, comprising transmitting a message to the one or more wireless unit having a first control data that causes the one or more wireless units to implement fragmentation threshold in transmitting data packets to the access point. The message is preferably a multicast data packet intended for the one or more associated wireless units. The message may further include a specified fragmentation to be used, and also another control signal for enabling request to send (RTS) and clear to send (CTS) transmission by the one or more wireless units.
