Abstract
An apparatus for wireless communication includes data defragmentation logic configured to receive, during a first transmit opportunity, a first data packet from a first device and a second data packet from a second device. The first data packet includes a first data fragment, and the second data packet includes a second data fragment. The apparatus also includes block acknowledgement generation logic configured to generate a block acknowledgement frame including a first block acknowledgement bitmap and a second block acknowledgement bitmap. The first block acknowledgement bitmap indicates at least the first data fragment received from the first device, and the second block acknowledgement bitmap indicates at least the second data fragment received from the second device. The apparatus further includes a wireless interface configured to transmit the block acknowledgement frame to the first device and to the second device.
