Abstract
The present invention provides a system for controlling isochronous data admission, within a WLAN system () that transports both isochronous and asynchronous data. The system includes an apparatus (), functioning as an access point within a WLAN system. The apparatus comprises a memory () and a transceiver () communicatively coupled to the memory. The apparatus further comprises an access coordinator (), communicatively coupled to the memory, and adapted to: evaluate actual access times of previous isochronous data streams, to determine projected access times needed by a new isochronous data stream, and to decide to admit or reject the new isochronous data stream based on an evaluation of the actual and projected access times.
