Abstract
Embodiments of the inventive concepts disclosed herein are directed to systems and methods for managing network communications. A transceiver of a first node may receive, from a second node of the plurality of nodes, a transmission sequence generated according to a communications cost value determined for each pair of the nodes in the communications node. The transmission sequence may specify a third node followed by the first node as consecutive nodes for transmitting packets. A sequence manager of the first node may detect that reception of a terminal packet of the one or more packets from the third node has or should have just completed. The sequence manager may initiate transmission by the transceiver immediately upon the detection.
