Abstract :
This research proposes a multiple access protocol known as the Distributed Wireless CSMA/CA (DWCC). This protocol is optimized for a distributed wireless communication network where the node availability and behavior are both uncertain and unpredictable. An application based on a distributed communication network formed using inter vessels communication at deep sea is used to illustrate the salient features of the proposed protocol. A method is outlined on how the proposed new protocol can be applied to extend radar vision at each vessel in the presence of radar jamming and/or communication node failure at mid sea. That is, the DWCC protocol is used to gather information from all vessels to construct a cumulative radar map at any node and thus extending the radar vision beyond the display capability of a single node.
