I ahve a list of transmission start times and a known transmission length. I want to finc out how many of the transmissions overlap one another. Can anyone think of a quick way to do this. Brute force is very slow. By brute force I mean comparing the start time of each start time to evry other start time to see if they are within the transmission time. I've been trying to figure out a MMA algorithm that would be analogous to plotting all of the transmit times and counting the overlaps but I'm not sure how to do this. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance, Daryl Reece_D at elmg.com
