摘要： A coordinator communication device operates in a communication network according to a communication protocol that defines repeating time cycles and specifies that each of multiple communication devices is provided a respective transmit opportunity in each time cycle. The coordinator communication device determines a number of follower communication devices in a communication network while the follower communication devices are selecting transmit opportunities using respective initial device identifiers. The coordinator communication device determines a quantity of transmit opportunities to be provided in each of multiple time cycles during which the follower communication devices are selecting transmit opportunities using respective new device identifiers. The coordinator communication device determines the quantity of transmit opportunities at least by using the number of follower communication devices. While the follower communication devices are selecting transmit opportunities using the respective new device identifiers, the coordinator communication device provides the quantity of transmit opportunity periods in each time cycle.
