Abstract :
Hardware and software partitioning for A-MSDU and A-MPDU in IEEE 802.11n requires many considerations due to the timing requirements of the MAC functions. We propose a MAC architecture suitable for adopting both MSDU aggregation and MPDU aggregation based on the measured interrupt latency statistics.
