Abstract

This paper proposes a medium access control (MAC) protocol for mobile Adhoc networks (MANET). The MAC layer is responsible for selecting the next packet to be transmitted and the timing of its transmission. Various new factors are introduced to determine the priority of the flow. The back-off mechanism devised by us grants node access to the channel based on the rank of its highest priority packets. It is clear that the proposed algorithm works better than the existing distributed laxity based priority-scheduling scheme and the same is proven using the simulation results using Glomosim.
