This paper presents the work of prototyping a weakly synchronous and distributed coordination function called Time-Division Unbalanced Carrier Sense Multiple Access (TDuCSMA). The prototype, designed and developed by modification of the wireless Atheros drivers, is meant to demonstrate the feasibility of TDuCSMA and its capabilities in bandwidth management and QoS provisioning. Furthermore, the bandwidth reservation model, derived and verified by simulations in previous works, is validated by real communication experiments.
