| 1. A wireless communication method of eliminating interference caused by hidden nodes, the method comprising:
transmitting an initiator control message in order to initiate an exchange of aggregate medium access control (MAC) protocol
data units (MPDUs), each MPDU being a packet aggregated with a plurality of MAC service data units (MSDUs), wherein the initiator
control message includes a queue size field containing information on the size of at least one queue, information for control
of a modulation and coding scheme (MCS) and any reverse flow of aggregate MPDUs in an exchange of aggregate MPDUs;
receiving a responder control message including a bandwidth allocation field containing information on bandwidth allocation
corresponding to the size of the at least one queue; and
setting a parameter for accessing a wireless medium in accordance with the responder control message.
