"SYSTEM AND METHODS FOR PROGRAMMING DISTRIBUTED PACKAGE AND METHODS FOR COMPRESSING A PLURALITY OF NEIGHBOR INPUTS ON A NETWORK LIST IN A NETWORK CONFIGURATION PACKAGE FOR A PACKAGE OF A PACKAGE OF A PACKAGE OF A PACKAGE. AD HOC NETWORK, AND FOR TRANSMISSION PROGRAMMING IN AN AD HOC NETWORK ". The present invention provides a medium access control (MAC) protocol for packet collision-free transmission on a channel such that nodes are assigned collision-free transmission time slots based on the knowledge they acquire regarding clientele. of your local neighborhoods, and time-lapse announcements when nodes in local neighborhoods will try to broadcast again. The programming procedure can use a network age along with unique node identifiers. Candidate transmission times for each node are determined using a list of subsequent transmission times announced by other nodes. Nodes discard announced transmission times from the list of potential transmission times, and compute their candidate transmission times using a function that provides a varied (pseudo-random) distribution of outputs for a varied sample of inputs. This function can be a reprint function, an encryption function, or a lookup table function. Candidate transmission time computation uses the identifiers of those nodes for which no announced transmission time has been obtained.
