Abstract:
1. In a wireless communication system having a transmitter and a receiver, a method for transmitting information from the transmitter to the receiver, the method comprising: defining a plurality of information-containing frames to be transmitted, the frames being of variable length; for each of the plurality of frames, creating a corresponding frame delimiter, wherein each frame delimiter comprises two copies of a length field containing a length value for the corresponding frame; wherein each frame delimiter further includes first and second validation fields associated respectively with the two copies of the length field, the validation field containing validation data usable by a receiver to individually validate the copies of the length field so that one invalid copy of the length field does not prevent receiving the information-containing frame; and arranging the frames and frame delimiters into an aggregated frame such that each frame is preceded by the corresponding frame delimiter, wherein the aggregated frame is transmitted by the transmitter to the receiver.
