ABSTRACT:
A method of accessing a communication medium allows for isochronous and asynchronous communication traffic to share the same medium and the same transceivers of a plurality of communication stations that communicate by way of a base station. The base station controls the communication between communication stations and generates regular timing periods in which isochronous traffic is sent to the stations with a higher priority than any asynchronous traffic pending at the beginning of each timing period. Once the initial isochronous traffic has accessed the medium, any further isochronous traffic retains access to the medium so that the asynchronous traffic can only occur in that part of the frame period remaining after the isochronous traffic has accessed the medium.
