Abstract :
In this paper a new access protocol for indoor radio communication for a group of mobile robots is presented. The algorithm is designed for efficient communication with minimum communication overhead. Access is given to each transmitter in a circular order calculated by each sender from the signal events. Access is based on timing relations. All agents maintain communication with a center, but the center can be reelected
