Abstract
A wireless communication system under a contention-based protocol comprises an access point and at least one station, wherein the station is arranged for wirelessly communicating with the access point under the contention-based protocol. In the operations of the wireless communication system, the access point broadcasts a polling usage sequence to assign a time slot for the station, and the station subsequently uses the assigned time slot to transmit a data packet to the access point.
