Patent ID: 7773601

Claim:
A wireless communication apparatus comprising: a transmitting device configured to transmit a first aggregation frame in which a plurality of first transmission data frames are aggregated; a measuring device configured to measure a number value of retransmission of each of the plurality of first transmission data frames; a storage to store a limiting value of the number value of retransmission; a determination device configured to determine whether the number value of retransmission of each of the plurality of first transmission data frames exceeds the limiting value; a transmission buffer configured to buffer first transmission data frames of the plurality of first transmission data frames for which it is determined that the number value of retransmission does not exceed the limiting value, and discard first transmission data frames of the plurality of first transmission data frames for which it is determined that the number value of retransmission exceeds the limiting value; and a retransmitting device configured to retransmit a second aggregation frame in which the first transmission data frames of the plurality of first transmission data frames buffered in the transmission buffer are aggregated.
