ABSTRACT:
The present invention extends the TRACE (Time Reservation Using Adaptive Control for Energy Efficiency) protocol to allow multi-hop communication in dispersed radio networks. The nodes in the network are dynamically clustered based on proximity and interference level. Time is divided into superframes, each cluster choosing a frame within the superframe for data transmission to reduce the likelihood of interference.
