Abstract
A system and method enable the transmission of messages between a source device and a wireless station. A first message is received at an access point from the source device. The access point transmits the first message to the wireless station and stores a copy of the first message in a memory. The access point receives an acknowledgement message from the wireless station and transmits a proxy acknowledgement message to the source device. The access point transmits a control message to the source device to limit the number or size of additional messages sent from the source device based on a number or size of messages currently stored in the memory and a maximum number or size of messages that can be stored in the memory.
