WUR Station Channel Contention Fairness

The WUR station dynamically changes its channel contention waiting time parameter based on whether it has just sent a wake-up packet. When a WUP is sent, the station sets its contention waiting time to match the legacy station's waiting time (EIFS), eliminating the time unfairness. This parameter adjustment resolves the contradiction by allowing the station to adapt its behavior to different operational contexts.

The channel contention waiting time is made dynamic rather than fixed. The WUR station adjusts its waiting time based on the operational state (whether it has sent a WUP). This dynamic adjustment allows the system to maintain fairness in channel contention while still enabling quick wake-up responses when needed, as the station can use shorter waiting times in appropriate scenarios.

The waiting time parameter is changed conditionally based on the operational state. When the WUR station sends a wake-up packet, it adopts the legacy station's waiting time to ensure fairness. In other scenarios where fairness is not compromised, the station can use optimized waiting times to maintain responsiveness. This conditional parameter change resolves the contradiction between fairness and responsiveness.

The system implements dynamic waiting time adjustment where the channel contention waiting time varies based on whether a wake-up packet was recently sent. This dynamic behavior allows the WUR mechanism to be responsive when needed while maintaining fairness in channel contention, preventing the contradiction from becoming a permanent limitation.
