In OA-TDMA, each node makes decisions in a distributed manner with no central control, using the local information disseminated by the OLSR protocol. The distinctive feature of the OA-TDMA protocol lies in its weighting scheme where OA-TDMA approximates the traffic passing through each node by using the local topology information collected by OLSR. Our simulations on ns-2 confirm the significant performance improvement achieved by the combination of OLSR and OATDMA over other scheduling schemes considered in this paper. ©2009 IEEE.EnglishCross-layer approachDistributed schedulingMACOLSRTDMACross-layer approachDistributed schedulingMACOLSRTDMAInformation useReal time systemsRouting protocolsSchedulingTelecommunication networksWireless local area networks (WLAN)Wireless telecommunication systemsTime division multiple accessConference Paper10.1109/WCNC.2009.4917841
