Abstract
A protocol for assignment, by an assigning node, of slots for full duplex communication in a dynamic distributed, multi-channel, time division environment is disclosed. The protocol is suitable for use with a dynamic assignment protocol such as USAP. The protocol can identify slots available for allocation for unicast communications or for allocation for broadcast communications. Nodes of the network share communication slot scheduling information. A node having data to communicate can examine the shared information and thereby identify those communication slots that are available for full-duplex communication with a selected neighboring node.
