Abstract: The system establishes a transmission sequence for effecting communications between plural terminals in a wireless network. This transmission sequence is defined by a control data frame comprised of plural slots, each of which can be allocated for communication between one pair of the plural terminals. In operation, the system begins by generating a transmit/receive matrix for the plural terminals in the wireless network. This transmit/receive matrix includes plural rows and plural columns, where each of the plural rows corresponds to a terminal and each of the plural columns corresponding to a same or different terminal. At each row/column nexus, the transmit/receive matrix includes an entry which indicates whether communications are to be effected between a pair of terminals that corresponds thereto. Slots in the control data frame are then allocated to pairs of the plural terminals based on these entries in the transmit/receive matrix.
