1. A system comprising:
a central communication station configured to communicate with a plurality of remote communication stations and to communicate with one or more systems outside of a network including said central communication station and said plurality of remote communication stations, wherein said central communication station is configured to use an adaptive resource allocation protocol to allocate zones of time frames to remote communication stations of said plurality of remote communication stations in accordance with both communication traffic demand of said remote communication stations and a preselected standard of service, wherein said time frames are used for communications between said central communication station and said plurality of remote communication stations, and wherein a first remote communication station of said plurality of remote communication stations communicates with said central communication station during zones of said time frames allocated to the first remote communication station using said adaptive resource allocation protocol.
