MANAGING CONTENTION-FREE TIME ALLOCATIONS IN A NETWORK
摘要
<p num="1"><br/><br/><br/>A method and corresponding system for communicating between stations (102A, <br/>102B, 104A, 104B, 104C) in a network (100) are presented. The method includes <br/>providing repeated beacon transmissions (402) from a coordinator station for <br/>coordinating transmissions among a plurality of the stations; transmitting <br/>from a first station to a second station during a time slot assigned to the <br/>first station by at least one of the beacon transmissions; and transmitting <br/>from the first station information that grants permission to the second <br/>station to transmit during at least a portion (610) of a time slot assigned to <br/>the first station.<br/>
