Claim:
1. A method of transmitting parallel data streams from a wireless station (STA) of a wireless network, said method being implemented in said STA, said method comprising: maintaining a plurality of transmission profiles, each transmission profile in the plurality of transmission profiles corresponding to a respective data stream of said parallel data streams; queueing packets of each data stream in a corresponding queue, wherein a first queue contains a first sequence of packets of a first data stream received in a first order, wherein a second queue contains a second sequence of packets of a second data stream received in a second order; selecting a first packet from said first queue and a second packet from said second queue; determining a transmission rate for a packet according to a transmission profile of a corresponding queue, wherein said determining determines that said first packet is to be transmitted at a first transmission rate based on a first profile associated with said first data stream, and that said second packet is to be transmitted at a second transmission rate based on a second profile associated with said second data stream; and transmitting said first packet and said second packet, wherein all of said first sequence of packets and said second sequence of packets are together transmitted in a transmission order, wherein a first packet of said first sequence of packets is transmitted immediately after a second packet of said second sequence of packets in said transmission order, wherein said first packet is transmitted at said first data rate and said second packet is transmitted at said second data rate.
