CA 2556039

A distributed MAC protocol is provided that includes a superframe (102) having a slotted Beaconing Period (104) and a data transfer period (103). The provided superframe (102) comprises a plurality of medium access slots (107) and a plurality of medium access slots (107) is assigned to the slotted Beaconing Period (104). The Beaconing Period length (106) may be fixed or variable. The provided Beaconing protocol defines initializing an ad hoc network by means of starting (101) a Beaconing Period (104), joining an existing Beaconing Period (104) of ad hoc network and resolving collisions during the Beaconing Period.

L'invention concerne un protocole MAC réparti comprenant une supertrame (102) comportant une période de balisage synchronisée par tops d'horloge (104) et une période de transfert de données (103). Cette supertrame (102) comprend une pluralité d'intervalles d'accès au support (107), une pluralité d'intervalles d'accès au support (107) étant affectés à la période de balisage synchronisée par tops d'horloge (104). La longueur (106) d'une période de balisage peut être fixe ou variable. Pour obtenir un protocole de balisage, il suffit d'initialiser un réseau ad hoc à l'aide d'une période de départ (101) et d'une période de balisage (104), de joindre une période de balisage (104) existante du réseau ad hoc et de résoudre les collisions durant la période de balisage.
