Method and system of wireless TDMA scheduling for industrial machine-to-machine communication, including propagation-delay-aware scheduling. A method of scheduling in a TDMA based communication system between a first node and a plurality of second nodes by means of a respective communication link. The method may comprise obtaining a propagation time for each communication link; and determining the largest difference in propagation times of two communication links. The method may further include selecting a first mode of scheduling if the largest difference is smaller than a threshold, and selecting a second mode of scheduling if the largest difference is larger than the threshold. The first mode includes selecting a guard time to be applied in each of the time slots, which guard time is based on the largest difference. The second mode is propagation-delay-aware and includes scheduling the transmission from each second node on the basis of the respective propagation time.
