PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide methods for channel access in wireless networks.SOLUTION: Embodiments may define traffic priorities to facilitate transmissions for wireless communications devices. Many embodiments comprise MAC sublayer logic to generate and transmit management frames such as beacon frames, association response frames, reassociation response frames, and probe response frames. The management frames have an access category for low power consumption stations or sensor stations. The access category for low power consumption stations or sensor stations comprises a parameter record defining, as a contention window, a contention window that is the earliest contention window to open amongst contention windows defined for the access categories for traffic. |
