This paper presents the impact of IEEE 802.15.3 MAC’s channel time allocation methods on a TCP flow’s performance. We show the importance of having super rate and appropriate...
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...
IEEE 802.11 Medium Access Control(MAC) is proposed to support asynchronous and time bounded delivery of radio data packets in infrastructure and ad hoc networks. The basis of the I...
WiFi, i.e., IEEE 802.11 is one of the most widely used technologies to implement internet access in today's networks. Typical frame error rates in IEEE 802.11 are much higher ...

In this study we investigate the interaction between TCP and MAC layer in a wireless multi-hop network. Using simulation, we provide new insight into two critical problems of TCP ...
