Abstract— Spectrum-agile radios, also known as cognitive radios, have a great potential to improve spectrum utilization by enabling dynamic access to the spectrum. A key challeng...
The IEEE 802.11x MAC protocol, the de facto standard for wireless LANs, includes a distributed coordination function (DCF) mode usable for ad hoc network architectures. The Transm...
In this paper, we propose a distributed clustering algorithm for a multi-hop packet radio network. These types of networks, also known as ad hoc networks, are dynamic in nature due...
It has long been known that adaptive beamforming has the potential to enhance the performance of wireless ad hoc networks significantly. However, due to the decentralized nature of...

Three collision-avoidance protocols are analyzed that use omni-directional packet reception together with omnidirectional transmissions, directional transmissions, or a combinatio...
