WIRELESS COMMUNICATION DEVICE
According to one embodiment, a wireless communication device includes: a receiver that configured to receives a first frame; and a transmitter that configured to transmits a second frame including a first identifier and acknowledgement information on the first frame, the first identifier being extracted from a predetermined field of the first frame and being different from a source address of the first frame.
1 . A wireless communication device comprising:
a transmitter configured to transmit a first frame including: a plurality of first fields containing information for specifying resource units; and a plurality of second fields containing identifiers associated with the resource units,
the identifiers each being an AID (Association Identifiers) allocated to a terminal by the wireless communication device or a predetermined first value different from the AID,
the resource unit associated with the predetermined first value being used for Uplink OFDMA (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access) based random access, and the resource unit associated with the AID being used for Uplink OFDMA (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access) by a terminal allocated the AID,
a receiver configured to receive one or more second frames in response to the first frame in a fixed time after the first frame is transmitted,
wherein
the transmitter is configured to transmit a third frame including acknowledgement information for the one or more second frames,
the third frame includes one or more third fields,
a number of the one or more third fields is identical to a number of terminals which have transmitted the one or more second frames, and
each of the one or more third fields includes
the AID of the terminal which has transmitted the second frame using the resource unit associated with the AID of the terminal in the Uplink OFDMA if the AID of the terminal is contained in one of the second fields in the first frame; or
the first predetermined value if the AID of the terminal is not contained in any of the first frames and the terminal has transmitted the second frame using the resource unit associated with the first predetermined value in the Uplink OFDMA based random access.
