A method for transmitting information in a communication network of multiple nodes, in which information transmission is partitioned into successive superframes, and in which each superframe is partitioned into a beacon period followed by a data period, which may consist of a contention free period (CFP), and each beacon period and CFP of the data period is partitioned into timeslots. The method includes allocating to at least a first node of the multiple nodes a designated timeslot in which to transmit data in at least one of a plurality of superframes, and allocating to at least a second node of the multiple nodes the same designated timeslot in which to transmit information during at least one subsequent superframe.
A method for transmitting information in a communication network of multiple nodes, in which time is partitioned into successive superframes, comprising:
A system for transmitting information in a communication network of nodes, in which information is transmitted between multiple nodes in successive superframes, the system comprising:
A computer readable medium storing program instructions, which when executed by a processor in a communication network of multiple nodes result in transmitting information in successive superframes, the steps comprising:
