Claim Text:
1. A method for scheduling asynchronous transmissions for a plurality of subscriber units, the method comprising: identifying, using one or more processors, a set of subscriber units from the plurality of subscriber units, each subscriber unit in the set being associated with uplink data to transmit and a timing offset related to transmission of the uplink data by the subscriber unit; determining, using the one or more processors, a timing offset differential between a first subscriber unit and a second subscriber unit from the set, the timing offset differential being a difference between the timing offset associated with the first subscriber unit and the timing offset associated with the second subscriber unit; and when the timing offset differential is below a predetermined threshold, assigning, using the one or more processors, segments of the uplink data to be transmitted between the first subscriber unit and the second subscriber unit, the assigned segments being configured to limit a likelihood of a collision of data between the first and second subscriber units.
