A Hybrid TDMA FDMA MAC Scheme for The Internet of Nano-Things

초록

We propose a hybrid TDMA/FDMA Medium Access Control scheme to provide contention-free interconnection of nanodevices within electromagnetic nanonetwork which would eventually lead to the Internet of Nano-Things. It is a simple yet novel scheme appropriate for computation limited nanodevices arranged in star topology. Our proposed scheme implements modulo and division operations to assign frequency band and timeslots and further uses beacon signal to implement dynamic TDMA.
