Techniques for MAC processing for efficient use of high throughput systems that may be backward compatible with various types of legacy systems are disclosed. In one aspect, a data frame is formed comprising a common portion for transmission in a format receivable by various stations, such as access points and remote stations. The data frame also comprises a dedicated portion, formatted for transmission to a specified remote station. In another aspect, the common portion is unsteered, and the dedicated portion is steered. In another aspect, an access point schedules an allocation in response to a data indication included in a common portion of a data frame transmitted from one remote station to another. In another aspect, a first station transmits a reference to a second station, which measures the reference and generates feedback therefrom.

1. A wireless communication system, comprising: means for accessing a shared medium with a first station using a contention-based procedure, during a first period, to transmit to a second station;means for accessing the shared medium with a third station in accordance with scheduled access, during a second period, to transmit to a fourth station, wherein the first period corresponds to a first transmission opportunity and the second period corresponds to a second transmission opportunity;means for receiving, at one or more of the first or third stations, a first beacon from an access point prior to the first transmission opportunity; andmeans for receiving, at one or more of the first or third stations, a second beacon from the access point after the second transmission opportunity, wherein the first and second periods occur within a beacon interval between the first and second beacons. 2. A method for communicating on a shared medium, comprising: accessing a shared medium with a first station using a contention-based procedure, during a first period, to transmit to a second station;accessing the shared medium with a third station in accordance with scheduled access, during a second period, to transmit to a fourth station, wherein the first period corresponds to a first transmission opportunity and the second period corresponds to a second transmission opportunity;receiving, at one or more of the first or third stations, a first beacon from an access point prior to the first transmission opportunity; andreceiving, at one or more of the first or third stations, a second beacon from the access point after the second transmission opportunity, wherein the first and second periods occur within a beacon interval between the first and second beacons. 3. The method of claim 2, wherein the first station and the third station are the same station. 4. The method of claim 2, wherein the first station and the fourth station are the same station. 5. The method of claim 2, wherein the second station and the third station are the same station. 6. The method of claim 2, wherein the second station and the fourth station are the same station. 7. The method of claim 2, wherein the first period and the second period are adaptively coordinated within a scheduled frame. 8. The wireless communication system of claim 1, wherein the first period and the second period are adaptively coordinated within a scheduled frame. 9. The wireless communication system of claim 1, wherein the first station and the third station are the same station. 10. The wireless communication system of claim 1, wherein the first station and the fourth station are the same station. 11. The wireless communication system of claim 1, wherein the second station and the third station are the same station. 12. The wireless communication system of claim 1, wherein the second station and the fourth station are the same station. 13. The method of claim 2, further comprising: receiving, at the third station, an indication that the second period is unavailable for contention-based access,wherein the third station accesses the shared medium in accordance with scheduled access based on the received indication. 14. The method of claim 13, wherein the received indication is included within one or more of the first beacon or a Request To Send (RTS) frame. 15. The method of claim 2, wherein the third station accesses the shared medium via a Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) transmission. 16. The method of claim 2, further comprising: accessing the shared medium with a fifth station in a third transmission opportunity obtained via polled access. 17. A wireless communication system, comprising: a first station configured to access a shared medium using a contention-based procedure, during a first period, to transmit to a second station; anda third station configured to access the shared medium in accordance with scheduled access, during a second period, to transmit to a fourth station,wherein the first period corresponds to a first transmission opportunity and the second period corresponds to a second transmission opportunity,wherein one or more of the first or third stations receives a first beacon from an access point prior to the first transmission opportunity,wherein one or more of the first or third stations receives a second beacon from the access point after the second transmission opportunity,wherein the first and second periods occur within a beacon interval between the first and second beacons. 18. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium containing instructions stored thereon, which, when executed by a wireless communication system, cause the wireless communication system to perform actions, the instructions comprising: program code to access a shared medium with a first station using a contention-based procedure, during a first period, to transmit to a second station;program code to access the shared medium with a third station in accordance with scheduled access, during a second period, to transmit to a fourth station, wherein the first period corresponds to a first transmission opportunity and the second period corresponds to a second transmission opportunity;program code to receive, at one or more of the first or third stations, a first beacon from an access point prior to the first transmission opportunity; andprogram code to receive, at one or more of the first or third stations, a second beacon from the access point after the second transmission opportunity, wherein the first and second periods occur within a beacon interval between the first and second beacons.
