Study on Evaluation Method of MAC Protocol for Tactical Data Links
战术数据链媒体接入控制协议评价方法研究

Medium Access Control(MAC) protocol has a decisive influence on the overall performance of tactical data links, and how to evaluate the performance of MAC protocol is an important part of the life cycle of tactical data links.TDMA is the most widely used access method in tactical data links, so, the evaluation indexes of slot assignment protocol were proposed,and a simulation evaluation method of slot assignment protocol for tactical data links was proposed.Then, the simulation evaluation framework was designed, the simulation models and the process of the framework were discussed. Finally, the validity of the method was verified by a simulation evaluation example.
