Patent ID: 8792517

Claim:
A system for scheduling transmissions by a first node in a multiuser detector enabled mobile ad-hoc network for multiuser detection (MUD) channel reuse, the system comprising: a transceiver configured to receive a plurality of control messages including identities and transmit and receive conditions of a plurality of remote nodes; a processor configured to, based on an algorithm: determine from the received plurality of control messages a plurality of resource usage maps corresponding to the plurality of remote nodes, wherein the plurality of resource usage maps reflect a status of slot codes as one of FREE, RX, TX, and BUSY; and determine, based on combined information from the plurality of resource usage maps and resource availability criteria, an availability of code slots for receiving packets at a destination node; and a scheduler configured to schedule transmissions of packets from the first node to the destination node within the mobile ad-hoc network based on the determined availability of code slots for receiving packets at the destination node.
