On-demand allocation of communication capacity in a Mobile ad hoc Network (MANET) involves initiating in a first node of the MANET, a request for network communication capacity. The request is initiated by wirelessly transmitting an access request in a first epoch, during an access request time slot of a TDMA waveform. The access request is directed to one-hop neighbor nodes with which the first node can communicate directly. The first node determines whether the access request has been granted based on one or more responses received from the one-hop neighbor nodes. These responses include an indication by each of the one-hop neighbor nodes regarding their availability to accommodate the access request. The first node subsequently uses network communication capacity granted to it for communicating data.
