Efficient medium access control (MAC) header


Abstract

A medium access control (MAC) frame may have a MAC header that includes two address fields and a MAC frame version indicator. The MAC header may also include control information that indicates a presence of a third address field in the MAC header. A time interval for transmission of the MAC frame may be determined by multiplying a duration value in a first message field by a multiplier value in a second message field.
