Errors introduced by a wireless medium are more frequent and profound than contemporary wired media. Some of these errors, which are not corrected by the physical layer, result in...
One important challenge in wireless ad hoc networks is to achieve collision free communication. Many MAC layer protocols have been proposed by considering various communication mod...
—The novel cross-layer protocol Breath for wireless sensor networks is designed, implemented, and experimentally evaluated. The Breath protocol is based on randomized routing, MA...
