Abstract
A communication method for a communication network includes transmitting first control information for a first frame from a hub to a plurality of user nodes, and transmitting a first data burst in the first frame from a first user node and a second data burst in the first frame from a second user node to the hub according to the first control information. A start of the first frame from the first and second user nodes occurs simultaneously at the hub. The method also includes transmitting second control information for a second frame from the hub after transmitting the first control information, transmitting a third data burst in the second frame to the hub according to the second control information, and receiving the second frame at the hub following the first frame.
