Abstract Based on simulation results in this paper we evaluate the merits of applying the Frame Descriptor Table (FDT) concept in a frame based MAC protocol working in a multi-hop scenario. The FDT concept is a promising means to mitigate the need for resources necessary to transmit control information in future mobile radio systems. Moreover it can be used to establish TDMA channels applying a MAC protocol employing a frame based reservation scheme. When examining multi-hop solutions for frame based MAC protocols it becomes obvious that the reduction of overhead is even more important than in a single-hop scenario. A drawback of the multi-hop MAC-protocol is the fact that control signaling is needed for each hop. This results in an increasing overhead with an increasing number of hops. With the help of FDTs this overhead can be kept small. When thinking of a multi-hop solution which establishes fixed or even partly fixed connections for the relaying of data, implementing the concept of FDT in such MAC-protocols is getting even more interesting. The simulations done in the course of this work show the positive effects of applying the FDT concept in multi-hop scenarios. The simulation results presented show the benefits in terms of increased throughput and reduced delay.
