Claim Text:
1. A method comprising: generating, by a processor of a medium access control sublayer logic, a frame comprising parameter records to change default management information base (MIB) attribute values for an enhanced distributed channel access (EDCA) Parameter Set element having parameter values for defining access categories of data traffic including best efforts traffic and sensor traffic, the parameter values including arbitration interframe space numbers and one or more contention window values for the access categories, wherein an arbitration interframe space number setting for a sensor access category is lower than an arbitration interframe space number for a best efforts access category for the default MIB attribute value, wherein the sensor access category provides the sensor traffic with priority over the best efforts traffic during competition in a first round of a contention window; and creating, by physical layer device, a physical layer protocol data unit comprising the frame with a preamble for transmission.
