Summary: In this paper, a distributed contention-free cooperative medium access control (CFC-MAC) protocol is proposed to reduce heterogenous collisions and unintended access delay in stochastic traffic scenarios. A cooperative communication system model, cooperative forwarding mechanism, and vectorized trajectory estimation mechanism are developed to explore the optimum road path between the source and destination and suppress merging collisions. Performance analysis and simulation results show that the proposed protocol outperforms existing solutions in terms of access delay and collision rate.

Summary: The maximum flow problem based on a contact graph in Delay-Tolerant Networking (DTN) is important for routing and data planning. Existing algorithms cannot be directly applied to topological networks with time series changes. This paper proposes a method of dismantling and reconstructing the graph to solve the maximum flow problem in a continuously changing network. The method discretizes time on different nodes to reduce the scale of the graph, optimizing data transmission, improving data delivery rate, and reducing link occupation.
