Abstract
At a first device (102 or 104), a message is received and processed. If the message is processed during a first time period, the first device transmits an acknowledgement message during a second time period; otherwise the first device transmits the acknowledgment message during a third time period. The second time period and the third time period are exclusive of each other.
