The invention is a congestion arbitration function, and method of using, for a wireless network. A suitable wireless network will have at least one gateway to the internet or other outside network, and a plurality of dispersed nodes which communicate with each other and through the gateway to the outside. Each dispersed node, upon wake-up, or other need to communicate with the gateway, transmits a short communication request, either directly to the gateway from an inner node, or relayed through an inner node from an outer node. The gateway assigns a communication network grant in response to each request, thereby eliminating congestion. Each node will retry sending the request until it is acknowledged, assuring that data is not lost.
