Abstract
A method, apparatus, and computer-readable media for a wireless local-area network comprises a transmit circuit to transmit first data; a transmit counter to count an amount of the first data transmitted by the transmit circuit during a predetermined monitoring interval; a receive circuit to receive second data; a receive counter to count an amount of the second data received by the receive circuit during the predetermined monitoring interval; and an adaptive access control circuit to generate an access trigger signal at a time determined by the amount of the first data counted by the transmit counter during the predetermined monitoring interval and the amount of the second data counted by the receive counter during the predetermined monitoring interval; and wherein the transmit circuit transmits third data according to the access trigger signal.
