Localized Dynamic Channel Time Allocation

A system, comprising:

• a transmitter;
• and
• network scheduler circuitry in communication with the transmitter, the network scheduler circuitry configured to:
• receive a request, from a first source station, to individually transmit during a service period to a first destination station from among multiple destination stations;
• determine a first transmit channel allocation within the service period, the first transmit period being shorter in extent than the service period;
• and
• transmit, with the transmitter, allocation information for the first transmit channel allocation within the service period to the first source station.

A device, comprising:

• source circuitry configured to:
• select a first destination station from among multiple destination stations;
• and
• generate a request to individually transmit to the destination station during a service period;
• and
• a transceiver configured to:
• receive, from network scheduler circuitry, allocation information identifying a first transmit channel allocation for the service period, a duration of the first transmit channel allocation being shorter than a duration of the service period;
• and
• responsive to the allocation information, individually transmit to the first destination during the first transmit channel allocation.
