FIELD: physics; communications.
SUBSTANCE: invention relates to wireless data transmission networks. A system and method are proposed for incorporating host-device communication in a wireless USB (WUSB). A host either uses a multicast distributed reservation protocol (DRP) frame on behalf of connected devices to reserve wireless channel resources, a unicast DRP frame or enhanced distributed channel access (EDCA) with a poll frame. In the case of a unicast DRP frame the number of unicast frames sent for reservation depends on the number of connected devices.
EFFECT: possibility of sending data from a connected host when reserving channel resources.
