Abstract
The present disclosure is directed to methods and apparatuses for increasing throughput of WLANs using queue size based intelligent reverse direction grants (RDGs). RDGs have been introduced in many WLANs to reduce the amount of overhead associated with variants of the CSMA/CD MAC protocol. Reducing overhead increases the WLANs achievable data throughput. However, RDGs are not intelligently used in WLANs, limiting their effectiveness.
