Implements the MAC data service for the originator (sender) side in IEEE 802.11 QoS networks. Extends the basic MAC data service with QoS capabilities including MSDU aggregation (A-MSDU) and MPDU aggregation (A-MPDU). Processes outgoing frames by assigning sequence numbers, performing aggregation, and fragmentation based on configured policies. Follows the MAC data plane architecture described in IEEE 802.11 standard.
