Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A media access controller (MAC) generates a composite packet having an optimized format for carrying audio, video, and data traffic. A header portion of the composite packet is encoded separately from a data portion of the composite packet. A physical device interface (PHY) is coupled to the MAC. The PHY encodes and decodes between a digital signal and a modulated analog signal. The PHY comprises a high rate physical layer circuit (HRP) and a low rate physical layer circuit (LRP). A radio frequency (RF) transmitter is coupled to the PHY to transmit data.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

We claim: 1. An apparatus comprising: a media access controller (MAC) for generating a composite packet having a format configurable to carry one or more of audio, video and data traffic, a header portion of the composite packet encoded separately from a data portion of the composite packet, wherein the composite packet includes a plurality of sub-packets each sharing a common MAC header and a PHY header, wherein at least a first sub-packet of the plurality of sub-packets in the c…
