+= High-level MAC Description =
+
+The high-level MAC is responsible for inter-packet states that are not time critical. The state machine implemented by the high-level MAC has 6 states: {{{Idle}}}, {{{MPDU Tx}}}, {{{MPDU Rx}}}, {{{Ethernet Tx}}}, {{{Ethernet Rx}}}, and {{{Scheduled Event}}}.

+== States ==
+
+ * {{{Idle}}}: This state is the default state where no actions are performed by the high-level MAC. All other states return to {{{Idle}}} when completed.
+ * {{{MPDU Tx}}}: This state handles the transmission of wireless MPDUs from a transmit queue.

+ * {{{MPDU Rx}}}: This state handles the reception of wireless MPDUs.

+ * {{{Ethernet Tx}}}: This state handles the transmission of wired Ethernet frames.

+ * {{{Ethernet Rx}}}: This state handles the reception of wired Ethernet frames.
+  * Detailed description for Access Point: [wiki:./AP/Ethernet_Rx Ethernet Rx for AP]
+ * {{{Scheduled Event}}}: This state handles actions by the high-level MAC that are internally scheduled for times in the future.
