Abstract

A scheme for bounding latency of transmissions for QoS in network stations operating in shared medium access network. The length of segment burst transmissions are limited by allowing the segment burst transmission of a given priority to be interrupted by higher priority traffic. Restrictions are placed on frame length for transmissions of all priority levels or, alternatively, at all but the highest of the priority levels.
