    Abstract: A method in a communication system including an access point and a plurality of stations, includes: selecting, at the access point, a quasi-omni-directional beam for use in transmitting and receiving control frames to and from the stations; selecting, at each station, one of a plurality of directional beams for use in transmitting and receiving control frames to and from the access point; at each of the stations, pausing transmission of Request To Send (RTS) control frames responsive to detecting (i) a RTS control frame from the access point to any one of the stations, or (ii) a Clear to Send (CTS) control frame from the access point to any one of the stations; wherein pausing transmission of RTS control frames is for a duration of time provided in the detected RTS control frame or CTS frame.

    Abstract: A method in a wireless access point (AP) for controlling medium access includes: transmitting a beacon frame defining (i) a beacon header interval (BHI), and (ii) a data transmission interval (DTI) divided into a predetermined number of scheduled periods, each scheduled period containing a set of uplink allocation request sub-periods; sending, to a client device, an uplink allocation request assignment indicating an assigned uplink allocation request sub-period from the set, that corresponds to the client device; during a current one of the scheduled periods, receiving an uplink allocation request from the client device during the assigned uplink allocation request sub-period; determining an uplink allocation sub-period for the client device based on the uplink allocation request; and during a next one of the scheduled periods, sending an indication of the uplink allocation sub-period to the client device.
