ABSTRACT:
A system and method for communicating includes a plurality of wireless nodes forming a Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) mesh network. Each wireless node includes a transmitter and receiver and is operative for transmitting data packets across the TDMA mesh network from a source node through intermediate nodes to a destination node using a TDMA epoch such that a slot of channel time is allocated in both time and TDMA epoch prior to a wireless node transmitting the data packet.
