Claim 15:
16. A computer program product including one or more non-transitory computer readable mediums encoded with instructions that when executed by one or more processors cause a process to be carried out for scheduling reception of radio signals, the process comprising:
dividing a first time slot in a node scheduler into a plurality of sub-slots and a second time slot into a plurality of sub-slots;
reserving a transmission block for a first node within at least one of the sub-slots in the first time slot;
reserving a reception block for a second node that receives a transmission from the first node, wherein the reception block is offset from the transmission block by at least one sub-slot;
effecting the first node and second node to transmit and receive a data packet, respectively, according to a schedule based on the reserved transmission block and the reserved reception block; and
offsetting the reception block by a number of sub-slots equal to a lowest integer differential of the time of flight (ToF) delay between the first node and the second node.
