Abstract
A slotted communications network by using a source node to indicate in every slot whether that slot is going to the same destination node as the immediately preceding slot. This is done by setting a flag, referred to as the continuation flag, in the header of each slot that is going to the same destination node as the immediately preceding slot; and preferably, this continuation flag is the first symbol in the header. Each node needs only to examine the continuation flag of the slot that immediately follows a slot that node has received. If the continuation flag is set in that following slot, then the destination node resets the busy indicator of that following slot to allow its reuse by other nodes, including the destination node itself if the access protocol allows that.
