Research on Time Slot Allocation Protocols of Ad Hoc Network Based on TDMA

Abstract

The Ad Hoc network based on TDMA has the advantages of fast and flexible networking, operational level controllable and no conflict transmission, in which MAC layer protocol directly determines the performance of Ad Hoc network. In TDMA mode, the MAC layer protocol mainly studies the time slot allocation, and there have been a large number of protocols related to slot allocation. According to the characteristics of different slot allocation protocols, this paper introduces the typical protocols, compares them with the advantages and disadvantages, and summarizes the main technical points about designing the slot allocation protocol.
