Abstract:
1. An apparatus, comprising: a receiver to receive a transmission of an aggregate of multiple data frames, wherein the receiver comprises a demodulator to demodulate data of the aggregate; a media access control (MAC) module to process demodulated data of the receiver; a response module to generate a response to the transmission of the aggregate, wherein the response comprises a preamble and response content, wherein further the response module is configured to generate the preamble as the MAC module processes demodulated data of the aggregate; and a transmitter to transmit the response, wherein the transmitter is configured to begin transmitting the response before the MAC module completes processing the demodulated data of the aggregate; wherein the response module is to negotiate with the transmitter of the aggregate of multiple data frames on an SIFSmin value and on an SIFSmax value; and the transmitter is to begin transmitting the preamble at an interval of a short interframe space (SIFS) after the receipt of the transmission of the aggregate of multiple data frames, the SIFS interval to vary between the SIFSmin value and the SIFSmax value.
