Abstract
While one node (such as a wireless mobile node) facilitates a point-to-multipoint communication via a communications network (), communication requests from other nodes in the multipoint audience are queued in a node queue (). At some point (in a preferred approach, at the conclusion of the transmission by the one node), and typically for a predetermined amount of time, communication requests are further noted. These more recent indicia of a desire to communicate are then utilized to modify the node queue. Subsequent communications are then arranged, at least in part, based upon the modified node queue.
