ABSTRACT:
A communication system is provided for communication between network nodes and a communication controller that provides for request timeslot management. In the network, when an individual node has data to transmit, the node transmits a request signal to the communication controller over an assigned timeslot. The timeslots are assigned to individual ones of the nodes, and the timeslots assigned recur in a repeating fashion. If a timeslot is unused for a predetermined period of time, such as when a node is turned off or simply has no data to transmit, the timeslot is either eliminated or reassigned. Eliminated timeslots reduce unnecessary time delay before request timeslots recur.
