Abstract
Communication devices and methods for multi-band traffic streams are provided. One exemplary embodiment provides a multi-band communication device which includes at least a plurality of transceivers and Media Access Control (MAC) circuitry. In operation, the transceivers each transmit signal frames on different ones of a plurality of frequency bands. The MAC circuitry is coupled to the transceivers and, in operation, receives a multi-band block acknowledgement frame on one of the plurality of frequency bands acknowledging the signal frames transmitted on the plurality of frequency bands. Another exemplary embodiment provides MAC circuitry which in operation generates and transmits a multi-band block acknowledgement frame on one of the plurality of frequency bands acknowledging the signal frames received on the plurality of frequency bands.
