ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus employable in a wireless, packet-based network communication system for managing transmission-limit build-up performed by participating network BSS stations, whereby, when singular ones (one only) of these stations, during a given transmission budget beacon interval, are attempting to gain access to network transmission bandwidth, they are permitted to invoke an algorithm for rapid transmission-limit build-up. Such rapid build-up is based upon allowing such a station to begin its accessing process with an elevated, initial transmission limit which is created as a relatively high percentage (preferably about 80-percent) of the last prior beacon-announced network transmission budget. If more than one such currently non-transmitting stations are simultaneously attempting anew to gain network bandwidth access, rapid build-up is not permitted, thus to minimize an otherwise possible network communication traffic jam.
