Controller knows system-wide what's up and sends out updates every so often to change at a certain time slot. It doesn't have to be real-time. Once a minute? Once every five minutes? It doesn't even need to be infinitely variable. Maybe there's four to eight settings that it goes among? Maybe you mark some devices as priority so their needs weighted more greatly, but otherwise if half the system is hitting contention in a given direction, move up to the next ratio at that next time slot.

I suppose if you negotiate ratio on every single transmission, you could come up with a terribly inefficient protocol that would be synced and dynamic. -----Original Message----- From: Bill Prince Sent: Saturday, December 10, 2016 2:46 PM To: af@afmug.com Subject: Re: [AFMUG] 450m , No News is Good News?
