Adaptive Broadcast Scheduling in Mobile AD HOC Networks

The topology of the Mobile Ad Hoc network changes dynamically. The initial slot assignments may cause interferences among the nodes while transmitting. Many heuristics methods have proposed in [1] [19]. In this paper, describes an adaptive distributed broadcast scheduling for spatial time division multiple accesses in mobile ad hoc networks that computes the slot assignments according to the changes in the topology like new node joining/leaving the network. No central node has maintained to calculate such schedules. Each node gathers information from its local neighborhood to reconstruct the slot assignments.
