A method and apparatus for conveying priority of buffered frames to power saving stations in a Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) including an Access Point (AP) and at least one power saving station is presented. The method and apparatus indicate to a station the presence of at least one buffered frame in at least one of legacy buffers and Automatic Power Save Delivery (APSD) buffers in the AP for the station. The AP receives an indication from the station that the station is ready to receive at least one of the buffered frames for the station. The AP then selects a buffer for releasing at least one buffered frame to the station, determines a number of frames to transmit from the selected buffer, and transmits the number of frames from said buffer to the station.
