Mobile ad-hoc network providing desired link delay offset without guard times and related method

摘要

A MANET (600) may include a plurality of MANET nodes (404) each including a wireless transceiver (406), a position determining device (416), and a controller (410) cooperating with the wireless transceiver and position determining device for establishing a wireless communication link with an adjacent MANET node based upon a time division multiple access (TDMA) implementation. The TDMA implementation may use time slots without using a range dependent guard time therein. The controller (410) may further determine a range to the adjacent MANET node, and schedule time slots to offset a link delay in a received signal from the adjacent MANET node based upon the determined range.
