Abstract:
1. A method, comprising: generating a request at a first node, the request including information indicating that the first node requires a QoS link to a second node; transmitting the request from the first node; receiving the request at a third node, the third node representing a manager node; determining, by the third node, whether the QoS link from the first node to the second node can be supported; and sending an accept message from the third node to the first node when the QoS link can be supported; generating, by the third node, a polling cycle; reserving a time slot in the polling cycle for the first node when the QoS link from the first node to the second node can be supported; and broadcasting polling signals based on the polling cycle, at least one of the polling signals identifying the first node, and wherein the first node transmits data during an interval after receiving the polling signal identifying the first node.
