Hybrid coordination function implementation

An apparatus comprising:

• means for alternating a means for writing transmission instructions to buffers and a means for reading the transmission instructions from the buffers in a round-robin manner to affect wireless transfer from a node based on the transmission instructions;
• means for writing feedback information to a field within a corresponding transmission instruction of the transmission instructions, the feedback information output from the means for alternating;
• and
• means for updating at least one parameter associated with at least one buffer of the buffers based on the means for alternating, wherein the at least one parameter indicates a maximum time for executing transmission instructions included in the at least one buffer.

An apparatus comprising:

• a higher level module coupled to at least two buffers, wherein the higher level module is configured to:
• write transmission instructions to the at least two buffers in a first round-robin manner;
• and
• control duration of at least one of a contention free period (CFP) or a contention period (CP) by stopping and resuming at least one write of a transmission instruction of the transmission instructions;
• and
• a lower level module coupled to the at least two buffers, wherein the lower level module is configured to:
• read the transmission instructions from the at least two buffers in a second round-robin manner;
• and
• execute one or more transmission instructions read from a buffer of the at least two buffers based on a maximum instruction execution time associated with the buffer.
