摘要:
Techniques for implementing systems and methods for topology management, power control and cross-layer design in directional antenna-based wireless mobile ad hoc networks are described. A multiple access control (MAC) system for a directional antenna and time division multiple access communication (DTMAC) node includes a neighbor discovery computer process designed to identify one or more neighbor nodes. The MAC system also includes a make reservation computer process designed to identify and reserve at least one transmission time slot with at least one of the one or more identified neighbor nodes. Further, the MAC system includes a data transmission computer process designed to transmit data to the at least one of the one or more identified neighbor nodes during the at least one reserved transmission time slot.
