Abstract

An communication scheme is disclosed. A collection of data samples is gathered and stored. One or more communication slot opportunities for the participant are identified in the time division communication scheme. Gathered data can be retrieved by an agent at a time just prior to communication. The agent can retrieve data according to a priority scheme. The retrieved data can then be loaded into a packet and transmitted in the communication slot opportunity to which its agent is related. The agents can be queued instead of the actual data to be communicated. Further, agents can be queued such that each level in the queue relates to a different communication slot opportunity. In addition, a plurality of agents can be activated to gather data to be communicated in a single communication slot.
