But please don't respond with RTFM and the such, thx! Reading a standard is a huge pain in the A**, so I hope somebody knows the answer already. So here is my question: Is there any situation where the payload to the Viterbi FEC is less than 256 bits (= 32 bytes) ? (ie. a beacon and such stuff?) It can't be the case for an IP packet (IP header + 2 MAC addresses = 32 bytes) This matters only for the ofdm modulation of agn, no b, no wired TI-mode. Thank you in advance! Tom.
