Abstract
The ultraviolet network, with its advantages of high security, non-line-of-sight communication, and all-weather operation, has broad military application potential. This study proposes an ultraviolet random access collaborative networking protocol based on time division multiple access that combines the benefits of synchronous and asynchronous media access control protocols. Considering the physical layer characteristics, the frame structure of the protocol is constructed based on a cross-layer design. Compared with the time division multiple access protocol, the proposed protocol can achieve higher throughput with a lower delay and packet loss rate by the dynamic timeslot allocation mechanism. Then, the effects of maximum cache capacity and burst traffic on network performance are investigated. Finally, the conducted network experiments prove the cooperative forwarding and random access capabilities of the ultraviolet random access collaborative networking protocol. The proposed protocol provides a reliable and effective method for independent and flexible ultraviolet networks.
