Method and apparatus for adaptation of EDCA parameters to ensure access by a wireless node
Various aspects of the disclosed approach attempts to provide suitable contention access by an Access Point (AP) to a communications medium shared with a plurality of stations (STAs) by adapting Enhanced Distributed Channel Access (EDCA) parameters for the AP. Generally, the disclosed approach includes determining a metric value by measuring an amount of access of a medium by a device over a first period of time; and changing, based on the metric value, a contention parameter of the device if a target metric value associated with access of the medium for the device is not achieved while a limit of the contention parameter has not been reached.
