Abstract: Method and apparatus for controlling transmission of a data stream from a station. A QoS registration frame is received, via an access point, from the station. The QoS registration frame includes information indicating a request for transmission of a data stream from the station, and information indicating a minimum required interval and a maximum required interval for an interval which is between start points of two successive durations of a medium dedication. Each duration of the medium dedication represents a time period in which the station is permitted to transmit the data stream. A schedule for the transmission of the data stream is calculated by setting a new interval which is between the minimum required interval and the maximum required interval, when the transmission is admitted.

Abstract: An efficient medium dedication schedule is generated. The schedule gives wireless medium an ability to concurrently serve real-time and non real-time application and still be able to maintain the Quality of Service as requested by the real-time application. Furthermore, QoS registration request is delivered in a time bound manner and a time slot is chosen for transmission during controlled contention phase that give lesser collision and higher throughput.
