Responsive to the number of stations exceeding a first threshold number, the transmitting stations are prioritized relative to the station based on a station type. Responsive to the number of stations exceeding a second threshold number, the transmitting stations are prioritized relative to the station based on a station RSSI value. The station is assigned to the run queue with an ATF token responsive to being prioritized within the first or second thresholds permitting transmission of the data packet for the station. The station is assigned to a wait queue responsive to being prioritized outside of the first or second threshold not permitting transmission of the data packet for the station.
