Abstract:
In one embodiment, a method is performed by a wireless station. The method includes receiving from an access point (AP) a request for measurement of at least one link-quality parameter. The method further includes measuring the at least one link-quality parameter to generate a link-quality-parameter measurement. The method also includes determining, for the wireless station, an appropriate wireless-station category of a plurality of wireless-station categories. The plurality of wireless-station categories are defined based at least in part on the link-quality-parameter measurement. In addition, the method includes communicating with the AP in accordance with a transmission schedule corresponding to the plurality of wireless-station categories.

Claim (Index 1):
A method by an access point (AP) in a wireless network, the wireless network comprising the AP and a plurality of wireless stations associated with the AP, the method comprising:\n defining one or more criteria for categorizing wireless stations in the wireless network into a first category and a second category, the one or more criteria comprising at least a link-quality-parameter; determining each of the plurality of wireless stations as belonging to one of the first category and the second category; notifying the wireless stations of one or more first scheduled time periods and one or more second scheduled time periods; during the one or more first scheduled time periods, transmitting to a first wireless station in the first category using a first adapted transmission power, and refraining from transmitting to any wireless station in the second category; and during the one or more second scheduled time periods, transmitting to a first wireless station in the second category using a second adapted transmission power, and refraining from transmitting to any wireless station in the first category.
