Methods for providing a client access to a channel in a meshed wireless local area network are disclosed. The methods comprise that a client in the meshed wireless local area network implement a polling based channel access methodology. The client determines that the channel is available by sensing that the channel is not busy and sends a request for access to the channel to an access point, wherein the request specifies a priority of data that is to be transmitted when the client is granted access to the channel. The client waits a time period before receiving at least one of a) a rejection of the request for access to the channel, b) access to the channel, c) modification of the request for access to the channel, and d) delay access to the channel.
