Abstract

We present a distributed TDMA negotiation approach
for single-hop ad-hoc network communication. It is
distributed, resilient to arbitrary transient packet loss and defines
a non-overlapping TDMA schedule without the need of global
time synchronization. A participating node can dynamically
request a fraction of the static TDMA period 푇. It will receive
its fraction if enough time resources are available. In any case,
every node can request and will receive at least a fair fraction
of size 1
푁 . Due to its resilience to arbitrary transient packet
loss, the algorithm is well suited for lossy networks like found in
wireless communications. Our approach is designed to work in
highly dynamic scenarios efficiently. We will show, that it defines
a dynamic non-overlapping TDMA schedule even at high packet
loss rates. The performance of the TDMA negotiation is analyzed
by simulation and compared to results of related work.
