Abstract

The transmission collisions of topology-transparent reservation time division multiple access protocol with MIMO links are solved by dynamically trading off the MIMO link transmission capacity and its anti-interference ability. Through theoretical analysis, we derive the guaranteed throughput and optimal frame length. Results show that the guaranteed throughput will be improved greatly by dynamic allocation of MIMO transmission capacity and its anti-interference ability. Moreover, the protocol is immune to topology change.
