ABSTRACT:
Devices, softwares and methods for centralized session planning while in a DCF mode. An access point plans centrally a schedule of individual sessions with each station. Then it announces to each peripheral station the onset of the session by a polling pulse that includes the return address of a MAC layer of the station. The addressed peripheral device then transmits data from its MAC layer.
