Abstract
A method for providing priority access to 802.11 endpoints. The method includes the steps of sending a Clear To Send (CTS) frame from a designated station, without requiring a Request to Send (RTS) frame from a first station. The CTS frame includes a field identifying the first station for commencing transmission, and a field indicating a duration of transmission. A deferring step is also performed for deferring any transmissions of stations other than the first station until after the duration indicated in the CTS frame has passed.
