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 12):
The communication apparatus of  claim 7 , wherein the bitmap field is made up of two types of bit groups, a first group comprising a number of bits equal to one plus the maximum number of fragments of a packet allowed to be transmitted within the same transmission window, and is used to indicate the receive status of fragmented packets when at least one fragment is received and at least one fragment is not received, and a second group comprising of two bits, out of which one bit is used to indicate the receive status of unfragmented packets or the receive status of fragmented packets when either all or none of the fragments are received, wherein one bit of each bit group is used to indicate the type of the bit group.
