摘要

According to one aspect of the inventionIt provides a method in which a group of users in a system that uses a retransmission mechanism such as an automatic repeat request is divided into multiple subgrUPOS of users. Each user is assigned multiple channels for the transmission of information.The number of channels assigned to each user is determined based at least in part, the number of subgroups and several channels available in the system.The transmission intervals are interspersed among the multiple subgroups such that only one of the subgroups of users are allowed to transmit information during anyTransmission interval.An Idle interval during which a particular user in the first group not transmitting information is used as a waiting period for the transmission of a Prior examination by the U.S.Uario.
