The present invention relates to, in a wireless network in which wireless stations transmit frames, a method of managing the access of the medium to a wireless station once a frame or a sequence of frames has been transmitted by the wireless station, the method comprising: (a) generating a time value resulting from a function of the duration of the frame or the sequence of frames to be transmitted, —(b) transmitting the frame or the sequence of frames; and (c) after step (b), the wireless station refraining from access to the medium by counting down a refraining time, the value of the refraining time being determined by taking account of the said time value.
