Abstract:
In one embodiment, a device in a network receives an indication of an appropriation and defense time slot for a set of time slots in a channel hopping schedule. The device appropriates ownership of the set of time slots using an appropriation window of the appropriation and defense time slot. The device receives an appropriation request from a second device during the appropriation window. In response to receiving the appropriation request, the device sends a defense notification during a defense window of the appropriation and defense time slot.
