Abstract

A method for communication includes accepting in an Access Point (AP) data items for transmission over a wireless channel to multiple terminals served by the AP. Aggregate airtimes, which were previously allocated to the respective terminals on the wireless channel, are assessed. Transmission of the data items is scheduled depending on the aggregate airtimes.
