Abstract
Micro-satellite ad hoc network has attracted a lot of interest from both the academia and industry, due to its better performance of earth coverage, data access delay and so on. MAC protocol design is one of the key and important problems in the micro-satellite ad hoc network. In this paper, we propose the Multi-Detection based CSMA protocol for the micro-satellite ad hoc network named as MD-CSMA, in which each satellite senses the channel by multiple detections. Compared with the traditional CSMA, the MD-CSMA protocol provides better performance of channel utilization ratio and guarantees the space mission with high-level priority. First, the related works about MAC protocols and micro-satellite ad hoc network are reviewed, and we show that the CSMA protocol better suits the micro-satellite ad hoc network than the TDMA protocol. Then, we propose the MD-CSMA protocol and its analysis. Finally, we construct various simulations to verify that the MD-CSMA protocol has better performance in terms of channel utilization ratio, mission satisfied ratio, and average latency of data access than the CSMA/CA protocol and the TDMA protocol.
