A-MPDU

MAC variable A-MPDU unverified

An aggregate of MPDU subframes sharing one preamble.

Reading a capture

The whole point is that the preamble is paid once. Ten frames sent separately at 802.11ax cost ten preambles of 36 microseconds; sent as one A-MPDU they cost one. That is the difference between a link that reaches its rated throughput and one that does not.
