1. A method of performing medium access control in a system for wireless communication of uncompressed video, wherein the system comprises a high rate channel and a low rate channel having a lower transmission rate than the high rate channel, the method comprising:

  • receiving a control initiation request message over the low rate channel from a client device during a contention based period;

    determining at least one time slot to be reserved for contention-free transmission of control messages to or from the client device within a superframe period of a predetermined length in response to the control initiation request message, wherein determining at least one time slot includes determining a time slot duration, wherein the duration of each time slot is determined based on identifying a type of control message exchange sequence contained in the control initiation request message; and

    transmitting a message over the low rate channel containing information identifying the at least one determined time slot,wherein the low rate channel provides both contention-based transmission and contention-free transmission, wherein uncompressed video is transmitted over the high rate channel rather than the low rate channel.
