ABSTRACT:
An access point (AP) including a control module and a scheduling module. The control module defines a plurality of basic service sets (BSSs) for the AP. Each of the BSSs has an identifier, corresponds to a class of service, and predetermined service parameters based on the class of service. The scheduling module schedules communications between the BSSs and a plurality of client stations based on (i) the identifiers and (ii) the predetermined service parameters and determines quality of service for the communications based on (i) the identifiers and (ii) the predetermined service parameters. A first scheduler schedules first transmit times for the BSSs to transmit data from the AP to the client stations within time slots determined according to the predetermined service parameters. A second scheduler schedules second transmit times for the client stations, to transmit data from the client stations to the AP, based on the predetermined service parameters.
