A distributed wireless communication network comprising: a plurality of communication nodes (320A-320G) configured to implement a communication protocol that includes exclusive allocation of a frame for a communication originating from a source node from amongst the plurality of communication nodes (320A-320G), and wherein each frame consists of a plurality of timeslots, characterized in that: said plurality of communication nodes (320A-320G) comprising two or more repeating nodes (320C and 320D), and each one of said two or more repeating nodes(320C and 320D) comprises: a synchronization module adapted to synchronize timing on a respective repeating node with timing on each one of the other repeating nodes; a communication module adapted to receive, during the communication frame, the communication for which the frame was exclusively allocated, and further during the communication frame, said communication module is adapted to retransmit the communication at one or more timeslots of the frame subsequent to the receipt thereof, such that, in addition to the transmission of the communication by the source node, the two or more repeating nodes (320C and 320D) repeat the communication for which the frame was allocated at one or more subsequent timeslots of the frame. a plurality of communication nodes (320A-320G) configured to implement a communication protocol that includes exclusive allocation of a frame for a communication originating from a source node from amongst the plurality of communication nodes (320A-320G), and wherein each frame consists of a plurality of timeslots, characterized in that: said plurality of communication nodes (320A-320G) comprising two or more repeating nodes (320C and 320D), and each one of said two or more repeating nodes(320C and 320D) comprises: a synchronization module adapted to synchronize timing on a respective repeating node with timing on each one of the other repeating nodes; a communication module adapted to receive, during the communication frame, the communication for which the frame was exclusively allocated, and further during the communication frame, said communication module is adapted to retransmit the communication at one or more timeslots of the frame subsequent to the receipt thereof, such that, in addition to the transmission of the communication by the source node, the two or more repeating nodes (320C and 320D) repeat the communication for which the frame was allocated at one or more subsequent timeslots of the frame. said plurality of communication nodes (320A-320G) comprising two or more repeating nodes (320C and 320D), and each one of said two or more repeating nodes(320C and 320D) comprises: a synchronization module adapted to synchronize timing on a respective repeating node with timing on each one of the other repeating nodes; a communication module adapted to receive, during the communication frame, the communication for which the frame was exclusively allocated, and further during the communication frame, said communication module is adapted to retransmit the communication at one or more timeslots of the frame subsequent to the receipt thereof, such that, in addition to the transmission of the communication by the source node, the two or more repeating nodes (320C and 320D) repeat the communication for which the frame was allocated at one or more subsequent timeslots of the frame. a synchronization module adapted to synchronize timing on a respective repeating node with timing on each one of the other repeating nodes; a communication module adapted to receive, during the communication frame, the communication for which the frame was exclusively allocated, and further during the communication frame, said communication module is adapted to retransmit the communication at one or more timeslots of the frame subsequent to the receipt thereof, such that, in addition to the transmission of the communication by the source node, the two or more repeating nodes (320C and 320D) repeat the communication for which the frame was allocated at one or more subsequent timeslots of the frame.
