The AP generates the PHY protocol data unit to include the PHY protocol preamble, and a PHY protocol payload including a media access control layer (MAC) protocol header, the MAC protocol header including address information that specifies the one or more intended receivers of the PHY protocol data unit. The AP transmits the PHY protocol data unit. | 2017-02-09 |
