Abstract
The present disclosure discloses a wireless communication system having reliable network medium access mechanism that includes a station apparatus and an access point apparatus. The station apparatus is arranged to transmit a stub signal for signaling a data transmission to be performed, wherein the stub signal does not include information of the data transmission. The access point apparatus is arranged to receive the stub signal and transmit a transmission polling signal for signaling a permitted time period so as to permit the station apparatus to perform the data transmission in the permitted time period.
