Abstract: A method of generating an aggregate frame having a header unit, which carries MAC-header information applicable to one or more data units of said aggregate frame. Since each data unit of the aggregate frame no longer needs to carry the full MAC-header information, the overhead associated with the MAC header can be significantly reduced. At the receiver, the full MAC header corresponding to the data unit is reconstructed by (i) matching the appropriate header and data units to one another and (ii) combining the information present in the header unit and the compressed header portion of the data unit. Embodiments of the present invention are capable of improving the data throughput, for example, in an entertainment network having paired source and destination devices (e.g., a DVD player and an LCD screen) with a relatively large amount of data streamed from the former to the latter.

Abstract: A plasma display device and a driving method thereof. A sustain discharge before a reset period for initializing a cell which is sustain discharged in a previous subfield is generated as a weak discharge rather than a strong discharge. By generating a weak sustain discharge, the amount of wall charge formed in the exterior area of electrodes may be reduced. As a result, in the subsequent reset period, the wall charge can be controlled to be appropriate for addressing while preventing misfiring and low discharge.
