Summary:In a wireless network including a plurality of stations, one of said stations is a control station for transmitting a permission indication to the remaining stations of the network. The remaining ones of said stations have an active state and an inactive state during which the remaining stations do not transmit or receive messages. The remaining stations further have a first power mode in which they are fully in the active state and a second power mode in which they enter the active state only at predetermined times and remain in the active state under specified conditions and are otherwise in the inactive state. The remaining stations include a controller arranged for causing the remaining stations to enter the second power mode only in response to the permission indication of the control station. The control station includes a controller for managing communications to the remaining stations dependent on whether the remaining stations are in the first power mode or the second power mode.
