Abstract
This disclosure provides systems, methods, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer-readable media, for signaling aggregated control information in a wireless communication network. A frame format may include an aggregated control (A-Control) field. In one aspect, the A-Control field may be variable-length to support signaling multiple types of control information. In some implementations, an access point may manage multiple links (multi-link). The A-Control field may be structured to include multi-link control information. This disclosure includes multiple options for extending an A-Control field. Furthermore, a receiving device may acknowledge the A-Control field using various techniques disclosed herein.
