Medium access and radio resource management for ad hoc networks based on UTRA TDD

ABSTRACT

The goal of the FleetNet project is to develop an air-interface for inter-car communication and road telematics. For the raido interface, the framework of the UMTS Terrrestrial Radio Access Time Division Duplex (UTRA TDD) air-interface shall be used with modifications. This paper introduces a concept for the air-interface, highlights the challenges for its use in an ad hoc network with rapidly changing topology and offers a description as well as an evaluation of the required changes within the medium access control and radio resource management layer
