abstract = "As MUM-T (Manned-Unmanned Teaming) technology becomes pivotal in future warfare, efficient data links in Manned-Unmanned Multiple Access Communication environments are essential. This paper proposes the TSPS-FTDMA MAC (Traveling Salesman Problem Solution - Frequency Time Division Multiple Access Medium Access Control) protocol to improve data transmission. The proposed protocol enhances network performance by applying a traveling salesman problem solution (TSPS) for TM (Telemetry) message scheduling based on node propagation delay. It also strengthens communication stability by optimizing guard time to account for GPS (Global Positioning System) errors and mobility. Simulation results demonstrate superior channel utilization and stable data throughput compared to existing methods"
