Abstract
Systems and methods are provided that facilitate distributed multichannel wireless communication and provide the highest level quality of service ('QoS') guarantee and support extremely high bandwidth applications such as voice over internet protocol ('VOIP') streaming audio and video content (including high definition), and multicast applications and also supports convergent networks, ad hoc networks, and the like. A modular MAC architecture provides a group of nodes with the ability to simultaneously communicate with each other using multiple separate communication channels during the same timeslots. The additional throughput gained by employing multiple communication channels is amplified by dynamically mapping the communication channels and timeslots in a network so that multiple channels can be reused simultaneously throughout the network during the same timeslot in a fashion that does not create collisions.
