| | 18 | Rather than structure this documentation as a function-by-function pseudocode equivalent to the above-linked codebases, we will instead approach the documentation from the perspective of two different roles: MPDU transmission and MPDU reception. There is overlap between these roles in what functions they execute (e.g., MPDU transmission still has an element of frame reception to deal with acknowledgments). |
