The IEEE 802.11 standard also defines an optional access method using a [[Point Coordination Function]] (PCF). PCF allows the [[Wireless access point|access point]] acting as the network coordinator to manage channel access. The [[IEEE 802.11e]] amendment to the standard enhances the DCF and the PCF, through a new coordination function called Hybrid Coordination Function (HCF).
