Energy consumption of the medium access control (MAC) algorithm is one of the key performance metrics in today's ubiquitous wireless networks of battery-operated devices. We ...
Abstract—Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Enhanced Collision Avoidance (CSMA/ECA) is a recently proposed modification to the well-known CSMA/CA protocol. By using a determinis...
The CARMA-NTG protocol is presented and analyzed. CARMA-NTG dynamically divides the channel into cycles of variable length; each cycle consists of a contention period and a group-...
Smart devices in the ubiquitous computing environment implement service/device discovery protocol that helps discovering each other and the services provided. As client device may ...
Traditional wireless broadcast protocols rely heavily on the 802.11-based CSMA/CA model, which avoids interference and collision by conservatively scheduling transmissions. While C...
