Abstract

In one embodiment, a method is performed by a wireless station. The method includes receiving from an access point (AP) a request for measurement of at least one link-quality parameter. The method further includes measuring the at least one link-quality parameter to generate a link-quality-parameter measurement. The method also includes determining, for the wireless station, an appropriate wireless-station category of a plurality of wireless-station categories. The plurality of wireless-station categories are defined based at least in part on the link-quality-parameter measurement. In addition, the method includes communicating with the AP in accordance with a transmission schedule corresponding to the plurality of wireless-station categories.
