"ACTIVE RATE CONTROL, CONFIRMATION AND CONCESSION ASSEMBLIES". The embodiments described herein meet the demand for efficient management of concession, confirmation and rate control channels. In one aspect, a list associated with a first station is generated or stored, the list comprising zero or more identifiers, each identifier identifying one of a plurality of second stations to send a message to the first station. In another aspect, list sets for one or more first stations are generated or stored. In another aspect, the messages may be acknowledgments, rate control commands, or leases. In another aspect, messages comprising one or more identifiers in the list are generated. Several other aspects are also presented. These aspects have the benefit of reduced overhead when managing lease, acknowledgment, and rate control messages for one or more remote stations.
