ABSTRACT:
Time slots may be allocated within a communication system when a communication unit transmits a first packet to a time slot allocator. Upon receiving the first packet, the time slot allocator determines whether the first packet contains a request for allocation of n-time slots or a request to transmit multiple packets. When the first packet contains the request for allocation of n-time slots, the time slot allocator allocates the n-time slots to the communication unit when the n-time slots are available, wherein the n-time slots are allocated contiguous in time. When the first packet contains the request to transmit multiple packets, the time slot allocator allocates time slots to the communication unit until the multiple packets have been transmitted, wherein the time slots are allocated contiguous in time.
