If my understanding is correct:

The A-MPDU itself is sent at the “data” rate (selected by Minstrel), so its total size can be used to calculate this portion of its duration in the same way as any other packet.

It is also surrounded by the same framing/preamble material, sent at the fixed “control” rate, as any normal frame.

The sum of these two major components should be the total airtime, no?

Or is the difficulty in identifying which de-encapsulated frames belonged to a particular A-MPDU?
