The present invention protocol offers guaranteed Quality of Service (QoS) for concurrent calls in a highly dynamic, scalable network. The invention employs a TDMA reservation technique to transmit voice traffic to multiple destinations and a CSMA/CA contention scheme to support data traffic. The present invention operates over a link-state based routing protocol that reliably floods routing and resource reservation information to network nodes. The present invention is suitable for general networking applications that require QoS for multimedia traffic in a mobile, Ad-Hoc network and enables conference calls to be established and operated in that type of network under various conditions. Moreover, the present invention capitalizes on certain properties of a radio, such as a RAKE type receiver, that sums up multiple, identical transmissions from multiple sources. In addition, the present invention enables roaming between and/or within a group or island of network nodes during the lifetime of a call.
