Abstract
A communication system includes devices configured to communicate with each other through a temporal sequence of frames. Each of these frames includes multiple sub-channels and network-context information associated with communication between the devices. For example, network-context information associated with a data packet transmitted by a first device using a first sub-channel during a first frame is included in the first sub-channel. Furthermore, a second device, which communicates with the first device and a third device, arbitrates potential conflicts between the first device and the third device over use of the first sub-channel by providing feedback information to the first device. This feedback information is determined based on the network-context information in multiple frames, which is accumulated by the second device.
