  • Patent number: 11108899
    Abstract: A WLAN device includes a processor implementing a MAC layer and a PHY layer which is coupled to a transceiver including a receive (Rx) chain and a transmit (Tx) chain that is coupled to an antenna. A preamble decode-based receive suspend algorithm has software stored in a memory that is implemented by the processor or by hardware including digital logic. The algorithm responsive to receiving a packet including a Physical Layer Convergence Protocol (PLCP) header, a MAC header, and data, is for analyzing a length field in the PLCP header to determine whether the packet is an undesignated packet and whether there is sufficient time remaining for implementing a turning off and then back on of an analog portion of the Rx chain to avoid missing a next packet. If the undesignated packet and sufficient time are present, the analog portion of the Rx chain is turned off.

  • Patent number: 11096241
    Abstract: The layer processing includes at least processing on a first, a second and a third layer. At the transmitter side, the third layer receives a packet, adds its header and forwards the packet to the second layer. The second layer performs segmentation and provides segmented data to the first layer, which maps the segmented data onto physical resources. The segmentation is based on the allocated resources. Retransmissions may take place on the third layer and thus, the third layer may re-segment the packet according to the received feedback for particular segments and provide the re-segmented data to the lower layers. Alternatively, the feedback information is provided to the second layer which then performs the segmentation by taking it into account. Correspondingly, the receiver performs re-ordering and re-assembly at the third layer for which it receives also control information from the second layer.
