Distributed Call Admission Control for DESYNC-TDMA in Mobile Ad Hoc Networks.

DESYNC-TDMA is a self-organizing algorithm based on bio-inspired features used to implement a collision-free MAC. It does not require a global clock or other infrastructures, and it automatically adjusts to the number of participating nodes to ensure that the available bandwidth is always fully utilized. In DESYNC-TDMA the time slots assigned to each node are equally allocated according to the number of nodes, and its slots are allocated one over the number of nodes. It is hard to guarantee the certain level of QoS for certain types of traffic. In this paper, we propose Distributed Call Admission Control (D-CAC) for DESYNC protocol, which is able for nodes to control joining the network with distributed manner. Our scheme needs to add only small amount of bit/flag information to the fire messages of DESYNC protocol. Simulation results showed that D-CAC is able to guarantee a certain amount of allocated slots to send its traffic by control not to join the network if congested.
