Abstract
Presents a new media access protocol called AC/ID (Access Control with Interference Detection), which is based on combining time-division multiple-access (TDMA) slot reservation with special interference detection that is especially suited to microwave radio channel behavior. It is shown that the adaptation of carrier sensing techniques using special measurement hardware is worth the effort. The protocol performance is superior to pure software protocols like CSAP or R-Aloha. The additional hardware is simpler than, for busy tone protocols because no special busy tone frequency and transmitter are required.Keywords
