Patent ID: 8208390

Claim:
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, having embodied thereon a program which, when executed by a computer, causes the computer to transmit a transmission packet for a link adaptation mechanism that transmits uncompressed data, the method comprising: transmitting the transmission packet, wherein the transmission packet comprises: a payload comprising a plurality of data units obtained through error correction coding of the uncompressed data at a predetermined coding rate; a media access control (MAC) header comprising a link adaptation field and a link adaptation extension field expressing presence or absence of the link adaptation field for transmission or reception of the uncompressed data; and a physical layer (PHY) header comprising information about the predetermined coding rate and information about usability of an unequal error protection mod, wherein the link adaptation field comprises a direction field expressing information about a transmission direction of the transmission packet, a high rate PHY (HRP) mode field where a high rate Phy mode index is recorded, a low rate PHY (LRP) mode field where a low rate Phy mode index is recorded, and a reserved field for a future preliminary use.
