First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of reserving channel bandwidth for transmission in a wireless ad-hoc network, the method comprising:
- at a transmitter node in a wireless ad-hoc network;
transmitting data to a receiving node in a wireless ad-hoc network in a first time block previously reserved for data transmission; and
transmitting data to the receiving node in a second time block if the reservation is periodic, the second time block starting at a time being a fixed amount of time L after the start of the first time block.

Abstract
A system and method for random access scheme in a wireless ad-hoc network is disclosed. In one aspect, the method comprises transmitting data to a receiving node in a wireless ad-hoc network in a first time block previously reserved for transmission. The method further comprises transmitting data to the receiving node in a second time block if the reservation is periodic, the second time block starting at a time being a fixed amount of time L after the start of the first time block.

21. A device for data transmission in a wireless ad-hoc network, the device comprising:
-
a storage unit having stored therein a software module; and a control unit configured to perform the software module to; transmit a first periodic clear-to-send (CTS) message to a transmitting node in a wireless ad-hoc network in a first time block previously reserved for periodic transmission; and transmit a second periodic CTS message to the transmitting node in a second time block if the reservation is periodic, the second time block having the same duration as the first time block and starting at a time being with a fixed amount of time (L) after the start of the first time block. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23)
