ABSTRACT:
A wireless local area network (WLAN) device (200, FIG.2) includes a medium access control (MAC) device (204) and a physical (PHY) device (202). The PHY device receives and transmits frames (FIG.3) over a wireless medium. The MAC device detects (604, FIG.6) when receipt is completed of a physical layer convergence procedure (PLCP) header (304, FIG.3) of a received frame. Based on information that the MAC device extracts (606) from the PLCP header, the MAC device predicts (618) header information for a response frame before receipt of the received frame has completed. The PHY device begins transmitting (1110, FIG.11) the response frame preamble (302, FIG.3) upon expiration of an interframe space (IFS).
