Multiple Access Protocol for Power-Controlled Wireless Access Nets
Overview This paper considers ad hoc wireless networks that are configured as Mobile Backbone Networks. A hierarchical network architecture is synthesized, consisting of Access Nets (ANets) and Backbone Nets (BNets). Each ANet is managed by a (dynamically elected) Backbone Node (BN) that is equipped with higher capability (transmission and processing) modules. The BNs are chosen from currently active mobile backbone capable nodes or are represented by (ground and/or airborne) Unmanned Vehicles (UVs) that are guided into selected positions. This paper develops and investigates a new joint power controlled Medium Access Control (MAC) algorithm for wireless Access Nets (ANets).
