Abstract
Embodiments describe scheduling communication in an ad hoc multihop network. Included is a reservation based Medium Access Control (MAC) protocol that has resources scheduled along the path from source to destination. Admission control is performed on a per-hop basis and a decision is made, in a distributed manner, if enough resources exist along the multihop path to admit a new communication.
