  • establishing a set of communication slots for a dynamic distributed, multi-channel, time division communication environment, each communication slot defined by a time and a frequency parameter;

    dynamically allocating, by nodes needing to communicate via the time division communication environment, communication slots from the set of established communication slots;

    sharing, between a plurality of neighboring nodes using the established communication environment, data indicating those communication slots that have been allocated by nodes of the plurality of neighboring nodes and data indicating those communication slots that have been allocated by nodes neighboring the plurality of neighboring nodes; and

    determining, from the shared data, which communication slots are available for full duplex unicast communication between a particular node and a selected neighboring node.
