Abstract
We propose a QoS supporting ad hoc network protocol which employs a hybrid approach utilizing both TDMA and 802.11 DCF. TDMA period provides contention free transmissions for QoS flows, and DCF period is used to provide contention-based access for best effort or low priority flows. TDMA time slots are assigned on admission basis in a distributed manner by utilizing network routing information and considering current assignment situation. In DCF period, frames are transmitted not to disturb the TDMA period. By combing TDMA and 802.11 DCF, the proposed ad hoc network is able to provide an efficient solution for QoS control in ad hoc networks. We use QualNet simulator to evaluate the proposed scheme.
