Abstract

Real time periodic messages generated by a plurality of stations on a data communication network and having data periods ranging from a shortest to a longest, where the longest data period is an integer multiple of all the others, are assigned by a server station to transmit time slots, equal in duration to the shortest data period, on a global basis to minimize the number of messages transmitted by all stations during each transmit time slot.
