<p>A method and a communication unit for communicating data based on frequency reuse by a plurality of transmitters (10, 20, 30). The transmitters (10, 20, 30) are coupled to a controller (40) that schedules communications of data during the repetitive time slots. Different frequency reuse patterns are used when scheduling critical and non-critical data transmissions. A first reuse pattern is used for scheduling the transmission of critical data, and a second reuse pattern is used for scheduling non-critical data. The invention can be applied to any inbound or outbound time slotted protocol that have message fragments spanning over one or more time slots. The reuse pattern can be varied slot by slot, o use a less aggressive reuse for communicating critical data and a more aggressive reuse for communicating non-critically data. As a result, data can be communicated more reliably a d throughput can be increased by protecting critical data transmissions via a less aggressive reuse.</p> |
