Abstract:
1. A method of configuring a protocol header associated with a plurality of Media Access Control (MAC) service data units and a payload, the method comprising: configuring a fixed length physical layer (PHY) header of the protocol header to contain a length information of the MAC service data units (MSDUs); configuring a variable length PHY header of the protocol header to contain information of the payload; configuring a MAC header of the protocol header to contain MSDU information associated with the MAC service data units; and generating a Header Check Sequence (HCS) for checking an error regarding a combination of the fixed length PHY header, the variable length PHY header, and the MAC header, wherein the fixed length PHY header is encoded using a first coding scheme, and the variable length PHY header, the HCS, and the MAC header are encoded using a second coding scheme.
