Abstract:
A communication method for transmitting a block acknowledgment (BlockAck) frame is presented. The communication method includes receiving a plurality of frames from a transmitting device, wherein the payload of a frame may consist of either fragmented or unfragmented packet, recording the receive status of the frames, generating a BlockAck frame that contains at least one Bitmap field used to indicate the receive status of the frames, the number of bits allocated in the Bitmap field for a packet being variable and transmitting the BlockAck frame.

Claim (Index 7):
A communication apparatus comprising:\n a receiver which in operation, receives a plurality of frames from a transmitting device, wherein the payload of a frame may consist of either fragmented or unfragmented packet; a memory to record the receive status of each of the plurality of frames; an acknowledgement generator to generate a block acknowledgment (BlockAck) frame that contains at least one bitmap field used to indicate the receive status of the frames, wherein the number of bits allocated in the bitmap field for a packet is variable; and a transmitter which when instructed, transmits the BlockAck frame.
