WI-FI BASED FIXED WIRELESS ACCESS PROTOCOL

A method may include determining, by an access point, which stations among multiple stations are permitted access to a wireless communication medium in a subsequent uplink frame. The method may also include broadcasting an uplink map to the stations, where the uplink map identifies a first station of the multiple stations as permitted access to the wireless communication medium. The uplink map may also identify an allocation of the subsequent uplink frame for the first station. The method may also include, during the allocation of the subsequent uplink frame allocated to the first station, receiving: an acknowledgment (ACK) of downlink data transmitted to the first station, uplink data, a resource allocation request from the first station requesting access to a second subsequent uplink frame, and/or combinations thereof.
