This paper proposes a Low Power Adaptive Polling (LPOAP) MAC protocol for infrastructure Wireless LANs (WLANs) which is capable of operating efficiently under bursty traffic conditions. The protocol utilizes a Learning Automaton at the Access Point of the WLAN. The Automaton utilizes network feedback to select the mobile station that will be granted permission to transmit. We implement a low-power option via specifically utilizing a control packet of the proposed protocol to reduce its energy consumption in medium-to high network loads.
