Abstract :
A number of tactical military and commercial applications require self-organizing, wireless networks that can operate in dynamic environments and provide peer-to-peer, multi-hop, multimedia communications. Rockwell Collins developed the Soldier Phone to meet these needs as part of the WireCorn Engine Technology Reinvestment Program jointly sponsored by DARPA and CECOM. USAP multiple access is the part of the system that manages the TDMA slot and channel assignments for optimal operation in the face of changing topologies and traffic requirements
