Abstract
A system for exploiting a non-transmission-designated interval in a cycle of a protocol can include a processor and a memory. The memory can store a retrieval module, an alternative transmission determination module, and a schedule module. The retrieval module can cause the processor to retrieve, by a specific node associated with a set of nodes in a network, information about the set. The information can include, for a node in the set, identifications of a frequency and a time slot of a transmission-designated interval in a cycle of the protocol. The alternative transmission determination module can cause the processor to determine, based on the information, an existence, in the set, of a non-transmission-designated interval that has a duration greater than a threshold duration. The schedule module can cause the processor to schedule, in response to the existence, the specific node to produce a transmission during the non-transmission-designated interval.
