TMMAC has loads of benefits over the other type of protocol. First, many MMAC designs require multiple radio transceivers which result in product expensiveness and high energy comsumption, but TMMAC instead needs only a single half-duplex radio transceiver on each node that the hardware cannot transmit and receive simultaneously, but can swtich the frequency dynamically. The two-dimension negotiation enables the MAC protocol to overcome the multiple channels advantage and produces better performance than IEEE 802.11. In addition to conventional frequency negotiation, this protocol also introduces lightweight explicit time negotiation.\ indent Since the time in TMMAC is divided into fixed interval which comprised of an ATIM window followed by a communication window in contention based, the window size is dynamically adjusted based on various incoming traffic patterns for using the bandwidth more efficiently and lower energy utilization. The dynamic allows different nodes to have distinct number of window sizes. When the network is not saturated, the ATIM window is shortened to save energy. When the network is saturated, the ATIM window size increases to allow more successful communication negotiations.\ indent This paper also proposes that the protocol is able to support broadcast negotiation in an efficient way and is highly power-efficient. Morevoer, in the performance evaluation section, TMMAC perform a exquisite result by reaching 113 per cent higher communication throughput that is mainly determined by the number of packets that can be scheduled during the ATIM window (number of successful negotiation) and the maximum number of packets that can be accommodated during the communication window which can be explained with the...

To overcome the issue stated that TMMAC is difficult to sustain a synchronization between mobile entities, we should set maximum threshold of beacon in order to prevent the long delay period for the new node to join the network.\ indent To alleviate the second problem, if a node has both unicast and broadcast packets to send, it negotiates the broadcast packets first. Also, smaller backoff windows are used for broadcast negotiation. The ATIM-BRD packets are control packetss used for broadcast communication. The sending node randomly selects available time slots and sends out the CUBs and CABs it plans on using for the broadcast. The nodes in the vicinity of the sending node update their CUBs based on the ATIM-BRD packet.
