Modelling of Medium Access Control (MAC) Protocols for Mobile Ad-Hoc Networks

Abstract

This technical note explains the design and modelling of two MAC protocols, Adaptive Generalized Transmission (AGENT) protocol and Collision-Avoidance Time Allocation (CATA) protocol, for mobile ad-hoc-networks. These MAC models will be used to assist the analysis of performance of MAC protocols in the future Tactical Data Distribution Sub-system (TDDS), in support of Joint Project 2072 (Battlespace Communications System Land).
