FIELD: physics; communications.
SUBSTANCE: system, device and method are provided fro decentralised control of access to transmission medium, containing an improved protocol for controlling ultra-wide band (UWB) access to transmission medium (MAC), which includes a distributed reservation protocol (DRP) for distributed reservation of the transmission medium. The invention also relates to any wireless communication system which uses a MAC-protocol, which contains a distributed reservation protocol. For this purpose the method employs devices which declare transmission medium reservation in beacon radio signals, and devices which use such declarations related to reservations.
EFFECT: increased transmission capacity and improved support for a mesh network.
