 We need to create a function that, when called, knows how to issue a new token for a reservation period to a device on the network. Note: the AP itself needs to be able to transmit, so it should include itself as one of the devices that get issued a token. Add the following function to the AP code:

 We need to define two new types of IPC messages between CPU_LOW and CPU_HIGH. The first, which we will call {{{TOKEN_NEW_RESERVATION}}}, will primarily be used by an AP when it decrees that a token reservation period now belongs to one of the devices on its network. The second, which we will call {{{TOKEN_END_RESERVATION}}}, will primarily be used by an AP's CPU_LOW project to indicate to the AP that the current reservation period has ended and it should move on to the next device in its association table. Add the following snippet of code to [browser:ReferenceDesigns/w3_802.11/c/wlan_mac_common/include/wlan_mac_ipc_util.h wlan_mac_ipc_util.h]:

 The values of 20 and 21 are arbitrary. The key part is that you choose numbers that do not overlap with any of the other definitions that are prepended by {{{IPC_MBOX_}}}. It is these definitions that the processors use to determine what type of IPC message is currently being received. Next, {{{ipc_token_new_reservation}}} and {{{ipc_token_end_reservation}}} are structs that we will use to more easily fill in and process IPC payloads.
