Abstract
The present invention relates to a method for forming a mobile ad-hoc voice network for operation in a rapidly changing environment, which comprises (A) assigning to a plurality of devices a group ID and to each of said devices a respective serial number (B) providing within each of said devices an algorithm for (B.1) calculating, based on individual neighbors data that are transmitted by each of the network devices within slots of a TDMA cycle, a structure of the network, including determination of one or more relay devices (B.2) calculating a leader for the network and (B.3) calculating a synchronizer for the network (C) transmitting by each of said devices within slots of said TDMA cycle the respective neighbors of that device (D) transmitting by the synchronizer of said network periodical synchronization data within slots of the TDMA cycle, and propagating the synchronization data to all the network devices upon, completion of each of said TDMA cycle, applying said algorithm by each of said devices to determine and possibly update the structure of the network, the relays of the network, and the leader of said network (E) within a period of said TDMA cycle, synchronizing each of the devices based on said synchronization data, while upon determination that the synchronizer is missing, determining by each device a new synchronizer for the system and (F) sending by devices of said network within a plurality of said TDMA slots voice data in digital form.
