Abstract:
A wireless network having a plurality of isochronous devices wirelessly connected to a radio frequency access point, each of said plurality of isochronous devices comprising:a radio frequency transceiver wirelessly connected to said radio frequency access point, said radio frequency transceiver receiving, at least, isochronous device identification data from said radio frequency access point for other of said plurality of isochronous devices when said radio frequency access point transmits to each of said other isochronous devices; a microprocessor connected to said radio frequency transceiver, said microprocessor generating a transmission time-ordered list of said plurality of isochronous devices communicating with said radio frequency access point, said transmission time-ordered list generated from said isochronous device identification data; and a memory device connected to said microprocessor for storing, at least, said transmission time-ordered list, said stored transmission time-ordered list used by said microprocessor in determining a time to transmit information to said radio frequency access point so as to prevent collision of information being transmitted to said radio frequency access point by any of said other isochronous devices.
