Abstract

A communications network system that transmits and receives communication frames that include a transmission status section that indicates a communication frame transmission is aborted. In one embodiment, a transmission status section includes a cyclical redundancy check value that is non-matching with the information in the communication frame. For example, a non-matching cyclical redundancy check value is created by generating a one's compliment of a CRC calculated based upon the information within a communication frame. The communication network includes a wireless network, a wired network (e.g., an Ethernet network) and a data cable system that transmits a data over cable media access control (MAC) frame with an Ethernet/[ISO8802-3] type packet protocol data unit payload.
