Parameters | Description |
|---|---|
w | The index of frames |
P NS(A)(w) | The probability of the ship having its NSs during frame k for ASO-TDMA |

P NS(C)(w) | The probability of the ship having its NSs during frame k for CS-TDMA |
P H(A)(w) | The probability of the ship experiencing a hop change during frame k for ASO-TDMA |
TSpL | The time slot index of the last ATS (or NTS) in the previous frame for the three MAC protocols |
TSwF | The time slot index of the first ATS (or NTS) in frame w for the three MAC protocols |
TSwL | The time slot index of the last ATS (or NTS) in frame w for the three MAC protocols |
Ï„ | The length of the time slot for the three MAC protocols |
