Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Providing wireless transmission, where in a first transmission mode, transmitting a plurality of frames using a first interframe spacing interval. When in a second transmission mode, transmitting the plurality of frames using a second interframe spacing interval, wherein the second interframe spacing is less than the first interframe spacing.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method for increasing throughput in a wireless transmission comprises: transmitting a plurality of frames using a Reduced InterFrame Spacing (RIFS) interval, wherein the RIFS interval is less than a Short InterFrame Spacing (SIFS) interval, the transmitting of the plurality of frames using the RIFS interval includes: sustaining an operating configuration of a physical (“PHY”) layer during the transmission of the plurality of frames, wherein when a subsequ…
