A Highly Reliable and Efficient Demand-Assigned Multiple Access Protocol (DAMAP) for Multihop Mobile Radio Networks

摘要

Types of data to be transmitted have a great influence on the design of a packet radio network. A channel switching mechanism is needed for multipacket messages in a multihop mobile radio environment. In this paper we give a classification of data types and multiaccess protocols, thereby highlighting an area that has not been studied up to now. After thoroughly analysing the properties of presently developed multiaccess protocols, we propose the new multiaccess protocol DAMAP which gives an optimal solution to problems that have not been solved so far.
