Abstract
Terminals of a network are mapped cells. Time slots are allocated to the cells such that the time slots assigned to a first cell are reused as the time slots assigned to a second cell subject to a k-cell constraint whereby, according to the k-cell constraint, at least k cells separate the first and second cells. Additionally or alternatively, either a terminal j joining a cell i of the network is assigned a time slot in which it reports its presence in the cell i, or time slots are reclaimed within the cell i so that a reclaimed time slot can be allocated to the terminal j.
