Abstract
A method for controlling the communication with mobile stations within a network, preferably a WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network) according to the IEEE802.11 standard, wherein the network comprises at least one access point through which the stations are associated with the network and wherein the stations can enter a power save mode is—with regard to a flexible utilization especially in large networks and with regard to a reduction of the required complexity of the access point of the network—characterized in that at least one functional entity is implemented in the network by which at least one part of the functionality required in power save mode is controlled.
