1. A method for a quality of service mechanism for a wireless network, the method comprising:
- reserving time for contention-based transmissions of station devices under a polling-based channel access function in an access point; and
deriving a scheduled polling service under access rules of the polling-based channel access function, wherein admission capability and bandwidth management of the wireless network are enhanced.

10. A system for a quality of service mechanism for a wireless network, the system comprising:
-
QSTAs (quality of service stations); and
a QAP (quality of service access point) networked to the QSTAs via the wireless network, the QAP reserving time for contention-based transmissions of the QSTAs under a polling-based channel access function in an access point, and deriving a scheduled polling service under access rules of the polling-based channel access function, wherein admission capability and bandwidth management of the wireless network are enhanced - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)

19. A method for a quality of service mechanism for a wireless network, the method comprising:
deriving a scheduled polling service under access rules of the polling-based channel access function to control transmission operations length, wherein unused transmission operation length is reduced, certain transmission operations length is expanded to avoid queue overflows, and provision of extra transmission operations at a schedule end occurs. - View Dependent Claims (20)
