Abstract
Generally discussed herein are systems, devices, and methods for scheduling node performance of communication and/or function. A method can include receiving, from a plurality of nodes, parameters indicating a trajectory and position of each of the plurality of nodes, creating a directed communication graph, creating a communications conflict graph, creating a function conflict graph indicating which function performed by one node of the plurality of nodes interferes with at least one of a function and communication performed by another node of the plurality of nodes, creating a universal conflict graph based on the communications conflict graph and the function conflict graph, creating a schedule for communication and function performance for each of the nodes based on the universal conflict graph, and providing data indicative of the schedule to nodes of the plurality of nodes.
