ABSTRACT:
A system and method are provided for aggregating Multimedia over Coax Alliance (MoCA) Medium Access Control (MAC) frames. The method sends a Multiframe Reservation Request (MRR) requesting a transmission time slot, and receives a grant in response to the MRR. Subsequent to sending the MRR, a plurality of MoCA MAC frames are accepted and assembled into a physical layer (PHY) burst packet that is transmitted in the granted time slot. A method is also provided for bundling client data packets into a MoCA MAC frame. The method sends a Bundledpacket Reservation Request (BRR) requesting a transmission time slot, and receives a grant in response to the BRR. Subsequent to sending the BRR, a plurality of client data packets are accepted and concatenated into a bundled MoCA MAC frame. The bundled MoCA MAC frame is transmitted in a PHY packet in the granted time slot.
