For various perceived service information, it is significant for the allocation strategy to adapt to the dynamic service requirements and prioritize resource access for the service information with high priority to guarantee its real-time performance. In this paper, a novel dynamic time division multiple access (TDMA) scheduling strategy is proposed for MANETs. Firstly, a service priority-based dynamic TDMA scheduling (SP-DS) algorithm is presented, which introduces the service priority as a reference factor for slot allocation and fully considers the transmission throughput and end-to-end delay performance. Moreover, for improving the slot use of the whole system, a modified distributed color constraint heuristic (MD-CCH) scheme is presented to optimize the frame structure. The SP-DS and MD-CCH algorithms are combined to form the novel strategy. Simulation results have demonstrated that the proposed strategy has better performance in the slot use, slot allocation efficiency, end-to-end delay and transmission throughput compared with the existing slot allocation algorithms.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s20247218","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,12,16]],"date-time":"2020-12-16T22:12:06Z","timestamp":1608156726000},"page":"7218","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":14,"title":["A Dynamic TDMA Scheduling Strategy for MANETs Based on Service Priority"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"20","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6396-5681","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yufeng","family":"Ye","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Aeronautics and Astronautics, University of Electronic Science and Technology of China, Chengdu 611731, China"},{"name":"Aircraft Swarm Intelligent Sensing and Cooperative Control Key Laboratory of Sichuan Province, Chengdu 611731, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xiangyin","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Aeronautics and Astronautics, University of Electronic Science and Technology of China, Chengdu 611731, China"},{"name":"Aircraft Swarm Intelligent Sensing and Cooperative Control Key Laboratory of Sichuan Province, Chengdu 611731, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lanfeng","family":"Xie","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"AVIC Chengdu Aircraft Design and Research Institute, Chengdu 610091, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kaiyu","family":"Qin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Aeronautics and Astronautics, University of Electronic Science and Technology of China, Chengdu 611731, China"},{"name":"Aircraft Swarm Intelligent Sensing and Cooperative Control Key Laboratory of Sichuan Province, Chengdu 611731, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,12,16]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2027","DOI":"10.1109\/SURV.2013.030713.00201","article-title":"A survey of MANET intrusion detection & prevention approaches for network layer attacks","volume":"15","author":"Nadeem","year":"2013","journal-title":"IEEE Commun.
