Abstract
A method of coordinating communications between a wireless MIMO base station and a plurality of wireless communication devices is disclosed. The method includes generating a series of index numbers for controlling sub-slot assignments for the plurality of wireless communication devices, providing data representing the series of numbers to the MIMO base station and each of the plurality of wireless communication devices, and controlling simultaneous communication between the plurality of wireless communication devices and the MIMO base station by reassigning access by the plurality of wireless communication devices to a plurality of sub-slots in a communication structure of unit size.
