Abstract

A mobile ad-hoc network (MANET) includes a source mobile node, a destination mobile node, and a plurality of neighboring mobile nodes. The mobile nodes are operative for contending for a plurality of time division multiple access (TDMA) slots in a frame using beacons. Each neighboring node selects a TDMA slot per frame. For neighboring nodes not receiving an acknowledgment for successful beacons, those nodes contend on empty TDMA slots and resolve residual collisions using a collision detection mechanism.
