Abstract: Embodiments describe mechanisms for an Access Point (AP) to aggregate multiple devices (e.g., stations (STA)) across frequency during a single time period. STAs will be considered for frequency aggregation only if they have a measured SNR at the AP below a threshold. Methods are described that select STAs for aggregation based on associated SNR and other criteria and then assign frequency slots to the selected STAs. Selection for aggregation and assignment to frequency slots can also be balanced across time, so that different STAs are selected for aggregation over time. Mechanisms are also described that increase the opportunities for frequency aggregation.

Also during the grant process, one or more devices are instructed to receive from the device granted permission to transmit. The polling process and the grant process occur in the same superframe.
