Wireless Medium Access Control (MAC) protocols such as IEEE 802.11 use distributed contention resolution mechanisms for sharing the wireless channel. In this environment, selfish...
—Designing a sensor network congestion avoidance algorithm is a challenging task due to the application specific nature of these networks. The frequency of event sensing is a de...
Due to the mobility of nodes in Ad hoc networks, network topology is dynamic and unpredictable, which leads to frequent network partitioning. This partitioning disconnects many no...
—Neighbor discovery1 is one of the first steps in the initialization of a wireless ad hoc network. In this paper, we design and analyze practical algorithms for neighbor discove...
