PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To manage a data frame to be transmitted by using software with a relatively long processing time. SOLUTION: The present invention relates to a method for managing the transmission of data frames in a station of a wireless network and a station using said method. It is applied to the stations of a wireless network of the 802.11 type. According to the invention, for each data frame, a frame descriptor is generated, the descriptors of the data frames to be transmitted during the contention-free time slot or the ATIM window are stored in at least one memory M1 of the station, and the descriptors of the data frames to be transmitted during the contention slot are stored in a memory M2. Then, during the contention-free slot or the ATIM window, the frames whose descriptors are stored in the memory M1 are sent, followed by the frames whose descriptors are stored in the memory M2 during the contention slot.
