Distributed assignment of codes for multihop packet-radio networks
Jose Joaquin Garcia-Luna-Aceves, J. Raju · 2002
This paper describes and analyzes a distributed algorithm for assigning codes in a dynamic, multihop wireless radio network. The algorithm does not require any form of synchronization and is completely distributed. The algorithm can be used for both the transmitter oriented and receiver oriented code assignment. The algorithm is proven to be correct and its complexity is analyzed. The implementation of the code assignment algorithm as part of the medium access control (MAC) and routing protocols of a multihop packet-radio network is discussed.
