ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for guaranteeing packet delivery times in an asynchronous network includes generating a global timing schedule to synchronize the communication between the terminals of a network and, in response to at least one trigger, transmitting and receiving data according to the generated global timing schedule. To optimize bandwidth utilization, more than one terminal may transmit data during a specific time slot of each time frame of the global timing schedule as long as no more than one terminal attempts to transmit data to a common other terminal.
