Abstract
A scheduler for a wireless network including N wireless stations having N bandwidth parameters, respectively, comprises a framing module that generates a schedule frame including schedule slots. An assigning module assigns N sets of TxOps to the N wireless stations based on the N bandwidth parameters, respectively. Each of the schedule slots includes zero or one transmission opportunity (TxOp) for each of the N wireless stations. A polling module polls the N wireless stations based on the TxOps defined in respective ones of the N sets of TxOps.
