FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating a configuration example of a packet to be transmitted or received by the information processing device 100 according to the embodiment of the present technology.

The packet is constituted by a PHY header 171, Parity 172, an MAC header 173, DATA 174, and a cyclic redundancy check (CRC) 175.

The PHY header 171 stores basic service set (BSS) Color and Length. Note that a network constituted by an information processing device functioning as an access point (AP) (master station) is referred to as BSS in the description.

BSS Color is information introduced by IEEE802.11ah. For example, an AP declares unique BSS Color for each BSS, describes this BSS Color in the PHY header 171 of a packet, and transmits the packet. A device having received the packet is capable of determining whether or not the received packet is a packet for own-BSS (i.e., presence or absence of a possibility that the packet has been addressed to the own-device). In this case, the presence or absence of the possibility that the packet has been addressed to the own-device is determined on the basis of an introduction part of the packet. Accordingly, in case of reception of a packet addressed to a different device (packet not addressed to own-device), processes after the reception are omitted to reduce power consumption for reception.

Length is information for specifying a length of a packet.

The MAC header 173 stores a destination address (Rx Address). The MAC header 173 may further store CRC. In case of the MAC header 173 storing CRC, the destination is determinable with reference to a head part of the packet.
