摘要

Systems, methods, and apparatus for communication utilizing a plurality of time slots over at least one channel are disclosed. In one or more embodiments, the disclosed method involves assigning, by at least one processor, at least one of the plurality of time slots for media data. In one or more embodiments, at least one of the plurality of time slots assigned for the media data is periodic. The method further involves assigning, by at least one processor, at least one of remaining time slots of the plurality of time slots for non-media data. In at least one embodiment, the assigning of at least one of the plurality of time slots for the media data has precedence over the assigning of the remaining time slots of the plurality of time slots for the non-media data.
