Abstract
In one aspect of the invention, a method for datagram staggering in a communication system includes receiving samples of a first input signal and a second input signal. The first input signal corresponds to a first communication device, and the second input signal corresponds to a second communication device. The method also includes generating a first plurality of datagrams containing at least a portion of the samples of the first input signal. In addition, the method includes generating a second datagram containing at least a portion of the samples of the second input signal. The second datagram is staggered from each of the first plurality of datagrams such that the second datagram is ready for communication at a different time than any of the first plurality of datagrams.
