ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a method and system for data packet communication in wireless communication systems. One embodiment involves determining if one or more data blocks pending transmission in a current transmission opportunity period over the channel will expire before the start of another transmission opportunity period, and if a data block will expire before the start of another transmission opportunity period, then extending the current transmission opportunity period by an extension period for transmitting the expiring data block during the extension period. One or more expiring packets are transmitted during the extension period on a best-effort basis.
