ABSTRACT:
A method and a system are disclosed for providing quality of service (QoS)-driven channel access within a basic service set (BSS) in a wireless network. A point coordinator (PC) station determines whether at least one of upstream traffic and side-stream traffic is scheduled to be transmitted from at least one non-PC station At least one available TO is allocated to each selected non-PC having at least one traffic to transmit. A multipoll frame containing information relating to at least two allocated TOs is then sent from the PC station containing information relating to each allocated TO.
