Abstract

According to one embodiment, a wireless communication device includes a receiver configured to receive a plurality of first frames which are transmitted by multiplexing; and a transmitter configured to transmit a second frame containing check results indicating whether the plurality of first frames are successfully received and first information specifying at least one wireless communication device. The receiver is configured to receive a plurality of third frames transmitted by multiplexing in response to the second frame.

Claims (28)

1. A wireless communication device comprising:

a receiver configured to receive a first trigger frame including first information specifying at least one wireless terminal for triggering uplink multiplexing transmission from an access point;

a transmitter configured to transmit at least one first frame in the uplink multiplexing transmission to the access point in response to the wireless communication device being specified in the first information, the first frame being multiplexed with another first frame transmitted from another wireless terminal specified in the first information;

wherein

the receiver is configured to receive a second frame including a third frame and a second trigger frame from the access point,

the third frame contains check results indicating whether the first frame and the another first frame are successfully received in the receiver,

the second trigger frame includes second information specifying at least one wireless terminal for triggering uplink multiplexing transmission,

the receiver is configured to determine whether the first frame is required to be retransmitted based on the check result corresponding to the first frame,

the transmitter is configured to transmit a fourth frame in the uplink multiplexing transmission to the access point in response to the wireless communication device being specified in the second information, and

the fourth frame includes a plurality of fifth frames, the fifth frames being the first frames to be retransmitted and/or six frames to be newly transmitted.

2. The wireless communication device according to claim 1 , wherein the transmitter is configured to transmitter the first frame in SIFS after the first trigger frame is received.

3. The wireless communication device according to claim 2 , wherein the receiver is configured to receive the second frame in SIFS after the first frame is transmitted.

4. The wireless communication device according to claim 3 , wherein the transmitter is configured to transmit the fourth frame in SIFS after the second frame is received.

5. The wireless communication device according to claim 1 , wherein the second frame is an aggregated frame of the third frame and the second trigger frame.

6. The wireless communication device according to claim 1 , wherein the fourth frame is an aggregated frame of the first frame and the fifth frame.

7. The wireless communication device according to claim 1 , wherein the transmitter is configured to transmit a plurality of the first frames,

the receive is configured to determine that the frames are required to be retransmitted based on the check results corresponding to the first frames, and

the fourth frame is an aggregated frame of the first frames.

8. The wireless communication device according to claim 1 , wherein the fourth frame is an aggregated frame of a plurality of the fifth frames.

9. The wireless communication device according to claim 1 , wherein the third frame contains bitmap of the check results.

10. The wireless communication device according to claim 9 , wherein the receiver is configured to detect a bit corresponding to the first frame in the bit map and determine whether the first frame is required to be retransmitted based on a value of the bit.

11. The wireless communication device according to claim 1 , further comprising at least one antenna.

12. A wireless communication method performed in a wireless communication device comprising:

receiving a first trigger frame including first information specifying at least one wireless terminal for triggering uplink multiplexing transmission from an access point;

transmitting at least one first frame in the uplink multiplexing transmission to the access point in response to the wireless communication device being specified in the first information, the first frame being multiplexed with another first frame transmitted from another wireless terminal specified in the first information;

receiving a second frame including a third frame and a second trigger frame from the access point wherein the third frame contains check results indicating whether the first frame and the another first frame are successfully received in the receiver, and the second trigger frame includes second information specifying at least one wireless terminal for triggering uplink multiplexing transmission;

determining whether the first frame is required to be retransmitted based on the check result corresponding to the first frame;

transmitting a fourth frame in the uplink multiplexing transmission to the access point in response to the wireless communication device being specified in the second information, wherein the fourth frame includes a plurality of fifth frames, the fifth frames being the first frames to be retransmitted and/or six frames to be newly transmitted.
