Research on the Access Method of Distributed Control Channel in WMN Based on TDMA

Abstract

The access strategy and method of control channel in WMN is an important research project. In this paper, description of access strategy and the method on distributed control channel in WMN based on TDMA are carried out, the coordination mechanism of multiple channels and allocation algorithm of controlling time slot to make the access of control channel fast and fair are proposed. Finally, the paper formulates protocol specification of control channel access, being appropriate for large-scale network, and discusses its application in the maintenance of network topology, route discovery and the establishment of QoS request.
