— Opportunistic spectrum access and adaptive power management are effective techniques to improve throughput, delay performance, and energy efficiency for wireless networks. In ...
— Directional antennas in multihop wireless networks offer a potential increase in the spatial reuse of the wireless channel. However, existing directional MAC protocols are not ...
Currently, most wireless sensor network applications assume the presence of single-channel Medium Access Control (MAC) protocols. When sensor nodes are densely deployed, single-cha...
