Wherein B0 is set to 1, and representative is VHT form; B1 bit is reservation bit; B2��B5 is for the request of link circuit self-adapting; B6��B29 is for the feedback of link circuit self-adapting; B30��B31 is for the instruction of RDG.
VHT field, reserved (reserved) field, MRQ field, MRQ sequence identifier (MRQSequenceIdentifier is included with continued reference to Fig. 1, VHTformatHTControlfield; Hereinafter referred to as: MSI) field, MFB sequence identifier (MFBSequenceIdentifier; Hereinafter referred to as: the least significant bit (LeastSignificantBitsofGroupIdentifier of MFSI)/group mark; Hereinafter referred to as: the GID-L) highest significant position (MostSignificantBitsofGroupIdentifier of field, MFB subdomain, group mark; Hereinafter referred to as: GID-H) field, type of coding (CodingType) field, feedback transmission types (FeedbackTxType; Hereinafter referred to as: FBTxType) field, unsolicited (Unsolicited) MFB field, access style limit (AccessCategoryConstraint; Hereinafter referred to as: ACConstraint) field and reverse authorization (ReverseDirectGrant; Hereinafter referred to as: RDG)/more physical layer convergence flow data unit (MorePhysicalLayerConvergenceProcedureProtocolDataUnit; Hereinafter referred to as: MorePPDU) field.
Further, in the embodiment of the present invention, the indicating mode of MFSI field is modified, thus expanding the span of MSI field. MSI in FIG is the field continued to use from HTfromatHTControlfield, in HTfromatHTControlfield, MSI can be any integer value in 0��6, it is used to refer to certain once specific link circuit self-adapting feedback, state MSI=7 has specific implication, for instance be used to indicate specially the MFB of active feedback. If the using method of the MSI continued to use in HTformatHTControlfield, in VHTformatHTControlfield, MSI is also can be any integer value in 0��6, is used to refer to certain once specific link circuit self-adapting feedback, and state MSI=7 retains. In an embodiment of the present invention by making MFSI=7 no longer have specific implication the setting of other field, so that MSI value can be equal to 7, the span of MSI expands to 0��7 in other words.
The use of MFSI can be as follows by VHTformatHTControlfield:
Such as MCS=15, VHTN_STS=7, MFSI=7: represent and do not provide feedback information at this point for current request or other still untreated request. This combination is for needing use HTControlfield (such as, reverse link agreement) and do not have the operable situation of MFB because of other agreement. Such as MCS=15, VHTN_STS=7, MFSI value is between 0 to 6 again: represent the request can mated for MSI value with MFSI value, it does not have feedback can provide, and reoffers never. Comprising effective MCS and VHTN_STS value in such as MFB son field again, MFSI value is between 0 to 6: represent that the request that MSI value can be mated with MFSI value provides feedback.Owing to MFSI=7 has special implication, so the span of MFSI is 0��6.
Further, the embodiment of the present invention provides a kind of method and uses UnsolicitedMFB to be set to specific value (such as 1) replacement MFSI=7, then just the special instruction implication of MFSI=7 can be eliminated, the value making MSI can be equal to certain once specific link circuit self-adapting request of 7 instructions, and the span of MSI can expand to 0��7 in other words. The use of amended rule can be such that MCS=15, UnsolicitedMFB=1: represents and does not provide feedback information at this point for current request immediately or other still untreated request. This combination is for needing to use HTControlfield (such as due to other agreement, reverse link agreement) and there is no the operable situation of MFB, in this case, owing to not providing feedback information for any once specific request, MFSI takes any value and is regarded as mating with the MSI in claim frame.
Can being equal to certain once specific link circuit self-adapting request of 7 instructions by the value of the amendment MSI in the present embodiment of above rule, the span of MSI can expand to 0��7 in other words. After MSI is set to 7 and is sent to MFB responder by MFB request end, MFB responder can be set to 7 MFSI field and reply, and representative is the feedback of the request to MSI=7, in this case, MFSI is equal with the MSI value in claim frame so that MFSI and MSI mates. After extension, the rule that other parts are relevant can be varied to. It is 0 to 7 for MCS=15, VHTN_STS=7, MFSI span: represent the request that can mate for MSI value with MFSI value, it does not have feed back and can provide, and forever and do not reoffer. Comprising again effective MCS and VHTN_STS, MFSI span in such as MFB son field is 0 to 7: represent that the request that MSI value can be mated with MFSI value provides feedback. When for certain once specific request carry out feeding back or indicate be not provided that feedback, MFSI is equal with the MSI value in claim frame so that MFSI and MSI mates
Further, it is also possible to combine wherein VHTN_STS and represent and do not provide feedback information for current request immediately or other still untreated request. Such as MCS=15, VHTN_STS=7, UnsolicitedMFB=1 represent does not provide feedback information at this point for current request immediately or other still untreated request. The method of the link circuit self-adapting feedback that the embodiment of the present invention provides, MFB request end and MFB responder are adopted setting VHTformatHTControlfield with the aforedescribed process and are carried out link circuit self-adapting request and feedback. It is believed that namely VHTformatHTControlfield is link circuit self-adapting claim frame or feedback frame in link circuit self-adapting request and feedback procedure.
