PRIORITY QUEUING OF FRAMES IN A TDMA NETWORK

摘要

A node (401) responsive to a TDMA protocol is provided. The node (401) can include a transceiver (403) and one or more processors (407) cooperatively operable with the transceiver (403). The processor (407) can be configured to facilitate receiving (413) one or more frames to be transmitted in a communication over the transceiver (403). The frame(s) can indicate a priority relative to other frames. The processor (407) can queue (415) the frame(s) in one of several queues in response to the priority. Each of the queues can correspond to a different priority. The queues are serviced (417), including processing the frame(s) in the queue(s).
