MD-MAC: A Distributed TDMA Protocol Based on Desynchronization for Multi-Hop Topologies.

Communication resource allocation and collision detection are important for the Ad Hoc network. Considering the existing TDMA-MAC protocol, the allocation way based on fixed time slot is mostly adapted, which cannot guarantee the performance and be not flexible about the business for different nodes in the distributed network. Desynchronization, as a biological term, can be utilized in the Ad Hoc network.
