摘　　要：In this paper, we propose a preamble-based medium access control (P-MAC) mechanism in Ad-Hoc network.Different from traditional carrier sense multiple access(CSMA)in Ad-Hoc network,P-MAC uses a much shorter preamble to establish the network. First, we propose the P-MAC mechanism to shorten the time of establishing the Ad-Hoc network. Based on the P-MAC, we propose a more efficient way to maintain the network. Next, focusing on the power line communication (PLC) network which is a kind of Ad-Hoc network,we propose a frequency division power line communication (FD-PLC) network architecture to obtain the best communication frequency. To obtain the best frequency, i.e., highest signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), we design the frequency sweeping mechanism which can determine the frequency of uplink and downlink communication before the transmitter and receiver communicate. Due to the large-scale networks in industry,P-MAC can be exploited to speed up the establishment of the Ad-Hoc PLC network. Finally, we compare our mechanism with CSMA. Numerical results indicate that our strategy greatly shortens the time of establishing the Ad-Hoc network.
