Abstract
A method and system for acknowledging the receipt of a transmitted data stream in a wireless local area network (WLAN) are disclosed. One aspect of the invention provides a system and method of acknowledging the receipt of a transmitted data stream in a wireless local area network, wherein the system sends a single acknowledgement to the transmitting party after all of the fragment packets, which belong to a sequence, are received in the receiving party. Another aspect of the invention provides a system and method of confirming the receipt of a transmitted data stream in a wireless local area network, wherein the system transmits a plurality of fragment packets without waiting for an acknowledgement for each fragment packet from the receiving party.
