Quality Of Service Provisioning Using Periodic Channel Time Allocation

A wireless network comprising:

• a plurality of wireless devices (101), said wireless devices each comprising:
• a transmitter (110) for transmitting a signal;
• a receiver (110) for receiving the signal;
• and
• a processor (111);
• and
• a power source (112);
• wherein the processor (111) determines a periodic service interval based on a TSPEC including a delay requirement of an application stream, and local resource of the said device;
• normalizes the maximum periodic service interval to generate a normalized periodic service interval;
• determines a continuous period of medium access time within the normalized periodic service interval;
• and instructs the transmitter to transmit data within the medium access time.
