Contention-based medium access in wireless networks suffers from the problem of frame collisions. In previous work, we have introduced new transfer protocols for the network-wide transmission of bit sequences that overcome the problem of destructive collisions. In this paper, we present the model-driven development of these protocols with SDL-MDD and its SDL tool chain. On the one hand, we show how to formally specify low-level functionality and time-critical behavior – network-wide deterministic arbitration – using the available constructs of a high-level design language. On the other hand, we show the embedding of this high-level design into our SDL execution environment that is extended to support time-critical requirements of the introduced transfer protocols.
