Abstract: In this paper we propose new techniques to improve scheduling performance in time-slotted superframe based ad hoc networks. Such channel access technology is used in the IEEE 802.15.3 and 802.15.4 standards. Building on the performance analysis of previous proposals, we enhance the scheduling algorithms with flow state signaling and burst eligibility decision, so as to exploit the features of the 802.15.3 architecture. We show by simulation that the scheduling algorithms extended with these special mechanisms achieve higher performance, with better channel utilization and lower power consumption
