ABSTRACT:
A system and method are provided for defining a Burst ACK interface in an IEEE 802.11 network. The method comprising: using Burst ACK primitives to negotiate between peer station management entities (SMEs); establishing an interface between peer MAC entities associated with the SMEs; and, in response to negotiating with the Burst ACK primitives, using a Burst ACK protocol to communicate information between peer Quality of Service (QoS) stations (QSTAs) associated with the SMEs. Using a Burst ACK protocol to communicate information between peer QSTAs includes communicating between the peer MAC entities. In some aspects, establishing an interface between peer MAC entities includes each MAC entity: transceiving Burst ACK primitives with an associated SME; converting between Burst ACK primitives and physical layer communication MAC frames; and, transceiving communication physical layer MAC frames with a peer MAC entity, via the physical layer communication MAC frames.
