METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR FRAME PREEMPTION IN DOWNLINK COMMUNICATIONS FOR NEXT GENERATION WI-FI

Abstract:

Provided herein is a method and apparatus for frame preemption in downlink communications for next generation Wi-Fi. The disclosure provides an apparatus, comprising: interface circuitry; and processor circuitry coupled with the interface circuitry, wherein the processor circuitry is to: encode a Preemptable Physical Protocol Data Unit (P-PPDU) packet; and cause transmission of the P-PPDU packet to a Station (STA) via the interface circuitry, wherein the P-PPDU packet includes a plurality of MPDU segments of an Aggregated MPDU (A-PDU), each MPDU segment includes one or more IPDUs, and wherein the P-PPDU packet includes a midamble (MA) for each MPDU segment. Other embodiments may also be disclosed and claimed.
