A method for transmitting data from a station to a wireless access point, comprising:

• receiving, by said station, a downlink frame from said access point,
• detecting, in said downlink frame, an indicator requiring transmission of a power level of the access point received by said station,
• estimating a power of said downlink frame received by said station, and
• transmitting, to said access point, an uplink frame carrying information representative of a power level associated with the estimated power.

A station capable of communicating with a wireless access point, the station comprising:

• at least one processing unit configured to:
• receive a downlink frame from said access point, detect, in said downlink frame, an indicator requiring transmission of a power level of the access point received by said station,
• estimate a power of said downlink frame received by said station, and
• transmit, to said access point, an uplink frame carrying information representative of a power level associated with the estimated power.
