ABSTRACT:
A method of acquiring transmit and receive slots in a peer-to-peer network comprising acquiring data about a plurality of nodes in the network, the data including a code corresponding to send slots and receive slots for the plurality of nodes; finding an available code based upon the data about the plurality of nodes in the network; and setting send slots and receive slots based upon the available code. A method for setting a code for a node in a peer-to-peer network, the nodes indicative of send and receive time slots for the node, comprising determining a code length; assigning the node a first string of bits half the code length to create a first half of the code; and assigning the node a second string of bits that is the inverse of the first string of bits to create the second half of the code. In one embodiment, the methods described herein allow for a TDMA network utilizing a single frequency band.
