Abstract

The method of slots reservation affects on the time delay performance of self-organized time division multiple access (S-TDMA) system heavily. In allusion to the backdate search arithmetic typically used in the dynamic slot assignment scheme, the influence exerted on message delay by slot idle probability and reservation collision probability is analyzed. A detailed analysis of the relationship between the message delay and the number of users is also presented, as well as the relationship between the message delay and the speed of data. In the end, an alternative arithmetic namely sequential search arithmetic is proposed. The simulation results indicate that the delay performance of this arithmetic is superior to backdate search arithmetic.
