1. A method of communicating data from an end station comprising: receiving a data input at the end station; adding logical link control (LLC) data to the data input to form a LLC frame using a LLC layer operating on the end station; adding media access control (MAC) data to the LLC frame to form a MAC frame using a MAC layer operating on the end stations; adding convergence data to the MAC frame to form a convergence frame using a convergence layer operating on the end station; adding physical (PHY) data to the convergence frame to form a PHY frame using a PHY layer operating on the end station.
