Mobile Ad Hoc Network has been widely used in disaster areas, war zones, deep sea and other areas where the network infrastructures are difficult to be established. However, when the mobile terminals increase heavily in Ad Hoc Network, it will cause signal conflicts. In this paper, based on TDMA time-division multiple access allocation scheme, a MAC scheduling protocol algorithm is designed for multiple wireless channels Ad Hoc Networks, which contain varieties of network services. According to the MAC scheduling protocol, wireless channel resource can be assigned to each mobile terminal reasonably, in order to eliminate the network conflicts, guarantee the network performance and improve the utilization rate of the wireless channels. The performances of the MAC protocol algorithm are also be analysed.
