In this paper, a performance comparison of dynamic TDMA and fixed TDMA in tactical data link system is conducted. The performance metric include: delay, queue size and system throughput. To perform comparison of two TDMA schemes, we adopt the modified M/D/1 queueing model. Computer simulation is also performed to verify conducted analytical results.

Broadband code division multiple access(B-CDMA)previously proposed for personal communication services(PCS) is not suitable for high-speed data services with large variations in speed, because it is designed only for low-speed voice calls with small variations in speed. Meanwhile, hybrid intra-cell TDMA/inter-cell CDMA(Hybrid TDMA/CDMA) recently proposed could accomodate high-speed services easily because of its internal use of the TDMA scheme, but there would be much inefficiency in treating variable bit rate services due to the intrinsic properties of TDMA transmission scheme, In this paper, a media access control(MAC) protocol, called Resevation TDMA/CDMA, which uses a reservation scheme similar to the one in the packet reservation multiple access(PRMA) protocol to compensate for these shortcomings is proposed. In addition, the performance of this protocol is analyzed and compared with conventional protocols by computer simulation. According to the simulation results, it has been shown that the proposed Reservation TDMA/CDMA scheme could support various transmission rates of user data traffics easily, and it could utilize the variations of the treansmission rates in each active call more efficiently.

In this paper, we describe the cause of TDMA noise and distinction method of TDMA noise source in a GSM mobile phone. The causes of TDMA noise are composed of RF(Radio Frequency) energy coupling and low frequency energy coupling by burst ripple. We propose the distinction method of TDMA noise source from output(TDMA noise measurement) and frequency response of a system(audio path). Especially we propose a method of insertion loss($S_{21}$) analysis and the improvement method for RF energy coupling. Capacitor(40 pF) is a solution to reduce RF energy coupling and therefore TDMA noise was reduced by 10 dB.

In this paper, we introduced our designed TDMA (Time Division Multiple Access) based MAC (Medium Access Control) protocol for Home Networks called HomeTDMA. We have implemented and tested it in a test bed using crossbow motes and TinyOS. We also have compared HomeTDMA and CSMA (Carrier Sense Multiple Access) in terms of space and time complexity, channel access time, delivery success ratio, and throughput. Based on our results, HomeTDMA has an advantage over CSMA on channel access time, throughput and delivery success ratioIn the case of complexity, HomeTDMA is more complex compared to CSMA. Thus, CSMA is more appropriate in wireless sensor networks (WSNs) where memory, energy, and throughput are important parameters to be considered. However, HomeTDMA has a natural advantage of collision free medium access and is very promising for home networks where a reliable transmission or data transfer and congestion control is highly preferred.

Ad Hoc Self-Organizing TDMA (ASO-TDMA) has been proposed as a specification to support the multi-hop data communication service for ships over VHF band. It allows for organizing a multi-hop ad-hoc network in a distributed manner by sharing the radio resources among the ships navigating along the route. In this paper, Markov chain analysis is given to provide the average throughput performance for ASO-TDMA protocol Furthermore, the analytical results are verified with computer simulation, which shows that there exists the optimal transmission rate to maximize the average throughput as the subframe size and the number of ships are varying in each hop region.

Industrial WSNs need great performance and reliable communication. In industrial WSNs, cluster structure reduces the cost to form a network, and the reservation-based MAC is a more powerful and reliable protocol than the contention-based MAC. Depth-based TDMA assigns time slots to each sensor node in a cluster-based network and it works in a distributed manner. DB-TDMA is a type of depth-based TDMA and guarantees scalability and energy efficiency. However, it cannot allocate time slots in parallel and cannot perfectly avoid a collision because each node does not know the total network information. In this paper, we suggest an improved distributed algorithm to reduce the end-to-end delay of DB-TDMA, and the proposed algorithm is compared with DRAND and DB-TDMA.

Airborne tactical networks is used to air-to-air or air-to-ground operation and have a large propagation delay. All nodes share the data by using TDMA-based broadcasting. In airborne tactical networks, each time slot needs the guard time to ensure the broadcasting because the collisions occur due to the large propagation delay. However, the channel utilization of the networks can be greatly degraded due to the waste of guard time. In this paper, we propose Inter-Transmitter Distance-Based TDMA (ID-TDMA) scheme which ensures the broadcasting while improving the channel utilization by reducing the guard time with the inter-transmitter distance information. The proposed scheme shows the effectiveness through the performance evaluation.

Channel attenuation must be taken into account when designing Time Division Multiple Access(TDMA) communication systems. In addition, Automatic Gain Control (ACG) is a requirement in satellite communication systems in order to form a stable network regardless of rapidly changes in channel environment. In this study, we present an AGC with possible real-time application to time slots in satellite TDMA communication systems. A satellite TDMA system was designed and implemented in order to test the performance of the proposed real-time AGC, and the system's BER (Bit Error Rate) was found by applying the proposed AGC algorithm. These results can be expected to be of high value in improving the stability of satellite TDMA communication systems in the future.

Many routing protocols have been proposed for low-power and ad-hoc networks to deliver command or data among nodes and recently, various researches are carried out about networking scheme considering reliability and scalability.

전파 지연이 큰 무선 네트워크 환경에서 Time Division Multiple Access(TDMA) 기법은 충돌을 방지하기 위해서 가드 타임을 고려한 슬롯을 운용해야 한다. 이 때, 가드 타임의 길이는 시스템의 통신 반경을 고려한 최대 전파 지연으로 하는 것이 일반적이다. 그러나 실제 환경에서는 노드 간의 거리가 대부분 통신 반경보다 짧기 때문에, 가드 타임의 낭비가 발생할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 AGT-TDMA(TDMA with Adaptive Guard Time)을 제안하였다. AGT-TDMA는 노드 간의 거리에 따라 가드 타임을 유동적으로 조정함으로써 낭비되는 가드 타임을 최소화하였다. OPNET 시뮬레이션 결과를 통해 AGT-TDMA가 기존 TDMA보다 처리량이 향상되었고, 지연 시간이 단축되었음을 확인하였다.
