A Kind of Parallel MAC Protocol in Single Channel in Ad Hoc Networks
Provides a kind of parallel MAC protocol called PCTS-MAC, which used in the single channel. In PCTS-MAC, the synchronous information and endure power information are embedded into the control frames. The synchronous information is used for the synchronization when hidden and exposed nodes transmitting or receiving with the master communication, the power information makes the hidden and exposed nodes transmit and receive with the controlling of power, avoids the interference to the master communication, protects the communication. The hidden terminal and exposed terminal problems are well solved with the PCTS -MAC protocol, the throughput and fairness will be well assured.
