Abstract
A baseband controller system creates and maintains a schedule of synchronized events and reviews the schedule as a part of determining whether to initiate a transmission of a non-synchronous event. One aspect is to avoid a possibility of collision between synchronized and non-synchronized communication events. The schedule of synchronized events are evaluated in relation to the present time and determine whether a non-synchronized event may be transmitted without the likelihood of a collision. The transmission determination includes evaluating future time periods to see if a synchronized event is scheduled during a time period in which the non-synchronized event would continue to be transmitted for those non-synchronized events that span two or more defined time periods in length.
