1. A method for scheduling communication of a data packet in a network, comprising:

  • sending a scheduling request over an access point tree to an access point, wherein the scheduling request comprises an aggregate of time slot requests associated with at least a node and a next hop node; and

    receiving a scheduling decision over the access point tree at the node and the next hop node, wherein each time slot request in the scheduling decision is reserved for at least the next hop node and the node, and wherein the scheduling decision enables the node to communicate the data packet collision-free over orthogonal data channels associated with the next hop node and the node.
