Abstract :
The authors derive an upper bound of the minimum time division multiple access (TDMA) frame length of any collision-free node assignment protocol in a packet radio network in which a node has multiple reception capacity. They also derive the optimum TDMA frame length for any fully connected network with large reception capacity. When the total number of nodes in the network is unknown, a heuristics to generate a TDMA protocol with frame length within some upper bound is presented for any network with large reception capacity
