Abstract

For fast, real-time and accurate information exchange, this paper explores a wireless communication protocol on air-to-air data link including the tree topology, the allocation mechanism of time slot and network address. Then we analyze the channel access delay, throughput, etc by employing the simulation to verify the validity. The result shows it has a higher channel and link utilization rate.
