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...
Abstract— We propose the QoS-driven opportunistic cooperation schemes for the wireless relay networks. By integrating information theory with the concept of effective capacity, o...
—VoIP is a rapidly growing technology that enables the transport of voice over data networks such as the public Internet. VoIP became a viable alternative to the public switched ...
— Recently, multi-hop wireless mesh networks (WMNs) have attracted increasing attention and deployment as a low-cost approach to provide broadband Internet access at metropolitan...
Abstract--In wireless ad hoc networks, in addition to the well-known hidden terminal and exposed terminal problems, the locationdependent contention may cause serious unfairness an...
