Abstract
A method to dynamically allocate time slots in multiple channels of a bandwidth over which a device can communicate on the network. In one embodiment, the present invention recites a method comprising several steps. First, a request to log onto a network is received from a device. Then, a loading condition of the network is determined. Finally, specific transmitting channels on which the new device is allocated to transmit information is assigned.
