Abstract
A method for automatically managing the communication channel resources between two nodes having neighboring nodes in a network of transceiver nodes, wherein each node communicates during specific time slots and uses multiple frequencies on a time division multiple access basis includes the steps of storing a table of possible communication frequencies and time slots between nodes; and announcing and transmitting during a specific time slot, a selected transmit frequency and slot from a first node to a second node and all neighboring nodes of the first node. The announced frequency and slot have certain constraints on reuse within two hops of the transmitting node to thereby establish contention free communication on that frequency and slot between the first and second nodes.
