Abstract
A wireless communication apparatus coordinates communication among a set of mobile stations by giving the mobile stations permission to transmit packets. The mobile stations divide comparatively long packets into shorter fragment packets. When the wireless communication apparatus receives a fragment packet with an indication that the station that transmitted the fragment packet has another fragment packet to transmit, the wireless communication apparatus gives the mobile station permission to transmit the next packet. The mobile station can accordingly transmit its fragment packets in continuous succession, avoiding a defragmentation timeout at the receiving end.
