Abstract

In MANET environments, resource sharing among nodes will be one of the problems to be solved. To solve the problems, the desynchronization algorithm, called DESYNC-TDMA, has been proposed as a variation of firefly-inspired algorithm. However, it has still problems of slow convergence and resource wastes as the number of nodes increases. In this paper, we propose an enhanced DESYNC-TDMA not only to reduce the convergence time, but also to enhance the packet delivery efficiency. The effectiveness of the proposed method has been shown by implementing the method using OPNET simulator.
