A method and system of operating a wireless local area network station adapted to transmit and receive a signal within a communication cell. The method includes the steps of establishing a carrier detect threshold level, establishing a defer threshold level, and transmitting a signal when the signal level detected by the network station is above the defer threshold level. Additionally, the method further includes the step of receiving a signal transmission intended for the network station when the power of the received signal transmission is above the carrier detect threshold level.
