[ns] Re: ns-2:mac-tdma

[Xuan Chen <xuanc@ISI.EDU>]

the current TDMA MAC protocol implemented in ns is preamble based, which
has been simplified a lot. Please  refer to the ns manual (chapter for
wireless simulation) for a detailed description. I also has a few slides
on my web site at netweb.usc.edu/xuanc/research.

Hope it helps,
