    • نبذة مختصرة :
      A station may communicate with an access point or another station. A data transmission may overlap with an acknowledgement message associated with the data transmission. The acknowledgement message may indicate a detected error in an initial portion of the data transmission. The data transmission may be stopped, or continued, based on the detected error and/or based on a characteristic of the detected error.
    • Claim:
      1. A method comprising: detecting, by a first station (STA), an error in a first frame during transmission of the first frame from a second STA to the first STA via a first link; and based on detecting the error, and before an end of the transmission of the first frame, sending, to the second STA via a second link, a second frame indicating the error.
    • Claim:
      2. The method of claim 1, wherein the first frame comprises a physical layer protocol data unit (PPDU), and wherein the error comprises at least one of: an error in a physical layer (PHY) header of the PPDU; or an error in a medium access control (MAC) protocol data unit (MPDU) of the PPDU.
    • Claim:
      3. The method of claim 1, wherein the second frame comprises an acknowledgment frame.
    • Claim:
      4. The method of claim 1, wherein the second frame comprises an indication of a type of the error.
    • Claim:
      5. The method of claim 1, wherein sending the second frame comprises sending during one or more of the following time periods: at an interframe spacing after detection of the error; less than an interframe spacing after detection of the error; or without an interframe spacing after detection of the error.
    • Claim:
      6. The method of claim 1, wherein the error comprises an error in a physical layer (PHY) header of a physical layer protocol data unit (PPDU), and wherein sending the second frame comprises sending during one or more of the following time periods: before an end of reception of the PHY header; after an end of reception of the PHY header; at an interframe spacing after an end of reception of the PHY header; less than an interframe spacing after an end of reception of the PHY header; or without an interframe spacing after an end of reception of the PHY header.
    • Claim:
      7. The method of claim 1, wherein the error comprises an error in a medium access control (MAC) protocol data unit (MPDU) of a physical layer protocol data unit (PPDU), and wherein sending the second frame comprises sending before an end of reception of a subsequent MPDU of the first frame.
    • Claim:
      8. The method of claim 1, wherein the first link and the second link correspond to different frequency channels.
    • Claim:
      9. A method comprising: transmitting, by a second station (STA) to a first STA via a first link, a first frame; and before an end of transmission of the first frame, receiving, from the first STA via a second link, a second frame indicating an error in the first frame.
    • Claim:
      10. The method of claim 9, wherein the first frame comprises a physical layer protocol data unit (PPDU), and wherein the error comprises at least one of: an error in a physical layer (PH Y) header of the PPDU; or an error in a medium access control (MAC) protocol data unit (MPDU) of the PPDU.
    • Claim:
      11. The method of claim 9, wherein the first frame comprises a physical layer protocol data unit (PPDU) and the error comprises an error in a physical layer (PHY) header of the PPDU, and the method further comprises: based on receiving the second frame, stopping transmission of the first frame via the first link.
    • Claim:
      12. The method of claim 9, wherein the first frame comprises a physical layer protocol data unit (PPDU) and the error comprises an error in a medium access control (MAC) protocol data unit (MPDU) of the PPDU, and the method further comprises: based on receiving the second frame, recording the error and continuing transmission of the first frame via the first link.
    • Claim:
      13. The method of claim 9, further comprising: during transmission of the first frame, monitoring the second link for the second frame.
    • Claim:
      14. The method of claim 9, further comprising: after transmission of the first frame, monitoring the second link for the second frame.
    • Claim:
      15. The method of claim 9, wherein the second frame comprises an acknowledgment frame.
    • Claim:
      16. A method comprising: receiving, by a first computing device from a second computing device via a first link, a first portion of a first frame; detecting an error in the first portion of the first frame; and based on detecting the error, and before reception of a second portion of the first frame, sending, to the second computing device via a second link, a second frame indicating the error, wherein the second link is different from the first link.
    • Claim:
      17. The method of claim 16, wherein the first frame comprises a physical layer protocol data unit (PPDU), and wherein the error comprises at least one of: an error in a physical layer (PH Y) header of the PPDU; or an error in a medium access control (MAC) protocol data unit (MPDU) of the PPDU.
    • Claim:
      18. The method of claim 16, wherein the second frame comprises an acknowledgment frame.
    • Claim:
      19. The method of claim 16, wherein the first frame comprises an indication of the second link.
    • Claim:
      20. The method of claim 16, further comprising: based on sending the second frame, stopping reception of the first frame.
