Abstract

See full text

A wireless network includes a base station and N stations where N is an integer greater than one. During a first period, M of the N stations transmit packets to the base station at M bandwidths, respectively, using carrier sense multiple access with collision avoidance (CSMA/CA), where M is an integer greater than one and less than or equal to N. During a second period after the first period, the M stations transmit packets to the base station during M sets of timeslots having durations based on the M bandwidths during the first period, respectively.
