The method involves extending the DTM block token format to include the parameters describing the segments between the source and destination node. The block token capacity is only reserved on the segments between the source and destination node. Two or more segment consecutive tokens representing the same slot range are merged into a single token, when existing in the free pool of a node. Simultaneous transmissions in the same slot are enabled over disjointed segments of the network. This is implemented in a central token management scheme or a distributed token management scheme. |
