1. A bandwidth recovery method for a communication system, comprising:

  • transmitting a first uplink scheduling message to at least a first communication node and a second communication node within a plurality of communication nodes of the communication system, wherein the first communication node and the second communication node share a communication channel, and the first uplink scheduling message is utilized for setting uplink durations within the communication channel that are assigned to the first communication node and the second communication node, respectively;

    detecting if the communication channel is in an idle state after a first transmission start time, wherein the first transmission start time is a timing when the first communication node is allowed to start transmitting data; and

    transmitting a second uplink scheduling message to the plurality of the communication nodes when the communication channel is found staying in the idle state after the first transmission start time, wherein the second uplink scheduling message is utilized for setting an uplink duration within the communication channel that is assigned to at least one of the first communication node and the second communication node within the communication channel.
