In this paper, we propose a new Medium Access Control (MAC) protocol for full exploitation of directional antennas in wireless networks. The protocol introduces a circular directio...
In this paper, we propose a Multicast Routing Protocol termed ZBMRP (Zone Based Multicast Routing Protocol) for Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANETs). ZBMRP applies on-demand procedures ...
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...
Multi-hop ad hoc wireless networks generally use the IEEE 802.11 Distributed Coordination Function (DCF) MAC protocol, which utilizes the request-to-send/clear-to-send (RTS/CTS) me...
—In this paper, we propose a physical (PHY) - medium access control (MAC) cross-layer protocol for ad hoc networks with antenna-array-equipped nodes that employ single-antenna tr...
