CA 2560603

In a distributed Mac protocol having a slotted superframe (102) comprising at least one slotted beacon period (104) followed by a data transfer period (103), a system and method is provided for creating and maintaining several beacon periods (104) at different positions in the superframe (102). When joining the network (300) a device (301) either joins an existing beacon period (104) or creates a new beacon period (104) at a position in the superframe (102) that does not overlap with beacon periods (104) or reservation periods. Beacon periods (104) mutually protect each other by devices (301) announcing the neighboring beacon periods in their beacons.

Dans un protocole de contrôle d'accès au support distribué comportant une supertrame à créneaux (102) comprenant au moins une période de balisage crénelé (104) suivi d'une période de transfert de données (103), sont prévus un système et un procédé permettant la création et le maintien de plusieurs périodes de balisage (104) à différentes positions dans la supertrame (102). Lors d'un accès au réseau (300), un dispositif (301) accède soit à une période de balisage existante (104) ou crée une nouvelle période de balisage (104) à une position dans la supertrame (102) qui ne recouvre pas d'autres périodes de balisage (104) ou des périodes de réservation. Des périodes de balisage (104) assurent une protection mutuelle grâce à des dispositifs (301) indiquant des périodes de balisage voisines dans leurs balisages.
