Abstract

Packet dynamic resource allocation (packet DRA) is a new medium access control (MAC) protocol that applies interference-adaptive DRA concepts to manage reuse in packet-switched networks. Sending and receiving stations use a short handshake to exchange interference-related information and publish it for 3rd parties so they can avoid interfering. The protocol is simply described and executed, completely distributed, and compatible with both peer-to-peer and base-station-oriented networks. Simulations show significantly higher capacity than carrier-sense multiple access (CSMA) networks
