A METHOD TO IMPROVE CHANNEL UTILIZATION IN A TIME DIVISION MULTIPLE ACCESS BASED PROTOCOL

摘要

there is described a method and apparatus, a method and apparatus for receiving a report from a station coupled to, reported in response to the update list that will, in response to the updated list of timeslot allocation map to adjust, to include encapsulating the adjusted map, transmitting the encapsulated adjusted map to, and the time slot allocation to assign to the time slot specified in the assigned station map. In addition, the method and apparatus there is described a method and apparatus is to de-encapsulate the map in to receiving a synchronization frame over a communications channel, the synchronization frames, such that the combined station is assigned to the primary user and the assigned backup user It said one, to determine if there is a timeslot specified in the map, and to transmit data over a communication channel during this combined station is the primary user of the time slot allocation, to detect the communication channel during the time interval , and as to transmit data via a communication channel idle state (idle) during a time interval, such that the combined station is assigned a backup user during the time slot of the time interval, including the sending of. ;
