Abstract: A Quality-of-Service-enabled access point (QAP) broadcasts an initial number of time slots and an upper limit to a Quality-of-Service-enabled station (QSTA). The QSTA generates a random number between 0 and 1. The QSTA selects a time slot from the initial number of time slots for data transmission contention and issues a TXOP reservation request to the QAP in the time slot if the random number is lower than the upper limit. The QAP generates a reservation result. The QAP broadcasts the reservation result to the QSTA if more than one QSTA issued reservation requests in the same time slot. The QSTA selects a new time slot for data transmission contention and issues a new TXOP reservation request to the QAP in the new time slot if the previous reservation is not successful according to the reservation result.

Abstract: A hexanary-feedback contention access method is provided in a wireless network having at least one base station capable of distinguishing at most 5 mobile stations concurrently requesting for register. A random procedure determines whether each mobile station is allowed proceeding contention access at a subsequent slot. The quantity of mobile stations capable of proceeding contention access at the subsequent slot is defined as a current mobile station quantity. If the quantity is from 2 to 5, a random procedure is performed based on the quantity to determine whether a contention access is proceeded at a subsequent slot. The mobile station quantity is then detected and if the quantity is 1, the mobile station is allowed for registration and the current mobile station quantity is decremented. If the current mobile station quantity is not equal to 0, the random procedure is repeated based on the current mobile station quantity.
