A wireless device can perform Out-of-Order packet processing and block acknowledgement. Multiple packets may be received at a lower layer of the wireless device. Identifying information may be determined for the received packets. It may be determined that the packets were received out of sequential order, based at least in part on the identifying information. Despite being received out of sequential order, payload information from the packets may be provided to a higher layer of the wireless device in a non-sequential order, such as the order of receipt.

Block acknowledgement with out-of-order packets

Antenna diversity for beacons. An access point device may include multiple antenna arrays. A series of beacons may be transmitted using each of the antenna arrays in sequence. The beacons may include configuration information usable by wireless devices to determine when to respond to the beacons. The access point may receive responses during a series of response periods, using each of the antenna arrays.
