Abstract
A wireless Local Area Network (LAN) includes a repeater which a) synchronizes interface adapters for portable end-user devices and b) retransmits data signals received which retimes and retransmits data signals received from these end-user devices that gain, one at a time, the exclusive right to transmit those signals during a given transmission time subframe by contending for access to the LAN resources that are auctioned off to permit LAN resource utilization that is independent of traffic load and that is implemented in a near collision-free environment.
