This paper proposes a medium access control (MAC) protocol for ad hoc wireless networks that utilizes multiple channels dynamically to improve performance. The IEEE 802.11 standar...
Recently wireless sensor networks featuring direct sink access have been studied as an efficient architecture to gather and process data for numerous applications. In this paper, w...
A medium access control (MAC) protocol is proposed that is suitable for non-synchronized ad-hoc networks, and in particular for the energy-constrained underwater acoustic networks...
