  • Method and system for providing a priority-based, low-collision distributed coordination function
    Patent number: 8966120
    Abstract: A method for providing a priority-based, low-collision distributed coordination function in a wireless network that includes a plurality of stations is provided. The method includes determining a priority for a first station and selecting a back-off time for the first station based on the priority.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 30, 2004
    Date of Patent: February 24, 2015
    Assignee: STMicroelectronics, Inc.

  • Method and system for providing a priority-based, low-collision distributed coordination function using a super-frame structure
    Patent number: 8351457
    Abstract: A method for providing a priority-based, low-collision distributed coordination function (DCF) in a wireless network is provided. The network includes an access point and a plurality of stations. The method includes receiving at a first station a super-frame from the access point. The super-frame is operable to define a service period for each of the stations. A priority for the first station is determined based on the super-frame. A back-off time is selected for the first station based on the priority.
