[STDS-802-16] Question about the scheduling of the next MSH-DSCH transmission (802.16-2004)



Hello,

I have a question related to the scheduling of the next MSH-DSCH
transmission in the standard 802.16-2004. 

When a station A calculates its NextXmtTime with the mesh election
algorithm, what happens if it wins in a slot included in the NextXmtTime
eligibility interval of a neighbour station B(theoretically could happen, as
the algorithm is based on a pseudo-random function)? Station B has fixed
already its transmission time, so while station B is transmitting at its
eligibility interval, station A starts to transmit. Therefore both station
transmit at the same slot and would be collision. But theoretically the
coordinated distributed scheduling is collision free... can someone explain
me how it is solved this problem?

Thanks, 

Ana
