AD-HOC SELF ORGANIZING TIME DIVISION MULTIPLE ACCESS MEDIUM ACCESS CONTROL PROTOCOL FOR SHIP AD-HOC NETWORK

摘要

A node and a communication method therefor according to at least one embodiment of the present invention determine a hop and subframe of the node, including whether there is a (neighbor) node around the node and the determined subframe. It is determined whether there is an idle time slot in the available subframes of the node, and if it is determined that the (neighbor) node exists and there is an idle time slot, the available subframe determined that there is an idle time slot. By selecting each time slot and transmitting data through the selected time slot, it is possible to smoothly provide a multimedia service and to ensure stable data transmission while reducing the possibility of reception collision.
