ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for terminating frame reception in a wireless Local Area Network. A node receiving a frame transmitted on the common channel in a wireless Local Area Network determines the destination address of the frame. If the destination address indicates that the transmitted frame is not intended for that node, the node terminates reception of the frame for a time period at least as long as the time required to transmit the remainder of the transmitted frame. In a further embodiment, the time period can also include at least one Short Inter Frame Space and the time required to send an Acknowledgement frame.
