FIELD: physics, communications.
SUBSTANCE: invention concerns communication technology. Wireless local area network (WLAN) includes hybrid coordinator (HC) and quality station (QSTA). HC transmits schedule frame element (SEF). Also WLAN includes timing device setting absolute start moment of maintenance period. Method of HC and QSTA synchronisation involves schedule frame element (SEF) transmission and setting of absolute start moment of maintenance interval and element of first frame transmitted.
EFFECT: improved quality of WLAN operation.
