Abstract:
Embodiments described herein provide a method for fragmenting and reassembling data frames on a medium access control (MAC) layer in a wireless local area network. A datagram is received from an application running on a first network device, for transmission over a wireless communication link in the wireless local area network. A negotiation request is initiated with a second network device for determining whether both the first network device and the second network device have enhanced directional multi-gigabit capability (EMDG) for data segmentation and reassembly. When both devices have EMDG capability and the size of the datagram exceeds the maximum size defined by the wireless local area network transmission protocol, the datagram is segmented into a plurality of transmission data units on the MAC layer.

Claim (Index 15):
The system of  claim 13 , wherein the transceiver is further configured to receive a first transmission data unit, and wherein the processor is further configured to:\n extract a first data bit that indicates whether there are more transmission data units segmented from a same datagram following the first transmission data unit and a first fragment number from a first sequence control field of the first transmission data unit; when the data bit equals one, continuing to receive a subsequent transmission data unit that belongs to the same datagram with the first transmission data unit; when the data bit equals zero:\n determine that any subsequent transmission data unit belongs to a different datagram; \n determine whether the first fragment number equals zero; \n when the first fragment number is non-zero:\n extract a second data bit that indicates whether there are more transmission data units segmented from a same datagram following the preceding transmission data unit from a preceding transmission data unit; \n when the second data bit equals one, determine that the transmission data unit is an EMDG fragmentation segment; \n when the second data bit equals zero, determine that the transmission data unit is a legacy fragmentation segment; \n when the first fragment number is zero, determine that the transmission data unit has not been segmented; \n \n reassemble a sequence of previously received transmission data units including the first transmission data unit to form one or more datagrams based on segmentation information relating to the transmission data units.
