Generating transmission arrangements for device group communication sessions

An apparatus comprising:

• at least one processing device comprising a processor coupled to a memory;
• the at least one processing device being configured:
• to determine a transmission ordering of multiple devices, including the apparatus, in a designated group with respect to transmitting data packets during a communication session, wherein the transmission ordering comprises device identifiers, attributed to the multiple devices, assigned to sequential transmission slots;
• to determine a scheduled distribution of multiple data packet types transmitted by the multiple devices across the sequential transmission slots, wherein the scheduled distribution comprises an identification of a respective one of the multiple data packet types assigned to each of the sequential transmission slots;
• to output, to all other devices in the designated group, (i) the transmission ordering and (ii) the scheduled distribution of the multiple data packet types;
• and
• to communicate to at least a portion of the other devices in the designated group in the communication session in accordance with (i) the transmission ordering and (ii) the scheduled distribution of the multiple data packet types.

A system comprising:

• a communications network;
• and
• multiple processing devices in a designated group, wherein a first of the multiple processing devices is configured to:
• determine a transmission ordering of the multiple processing devices in the designated group with respect to transmitting data packets during a communication session, wherein the transmission ordering comprises device identifiers, attributed to the multiple processing devices, assigned to sequential transmission slots;
• determine a scheduled distribution of multiple data packet types transmitted by the multiple processing devices across the sequential transmission slots, wherein the scheduled distribution comprises an identification of a respective one of the multiple data packet types assigned to each of the sequential transmission slots;
• and
• output, to the other processing devices in the designated group, (i) the transmission ordering and (ii) the scheduled distribution of the multiple data packet types;
• and
• wherein each of the multiple processing devices is configured to:
• participate in the communication session in accordance with (i) the transmission ordering and (ii) the scheduled distribution of the multiple data packet types.
