Abstract
An apparatus and method are provided for efficiently sharing a single wireless channel and for providing improved power saving. Automatic beacon 'sliding' establishes a round-robin contention-free channel schedule among multiple IBSSs. Entering an idle state immediately following communication after a beacon saves power. Further power savings occur when presumptions of pending traffic may be made.
