Abstract— A novel multichannel schedule-based Medium Access Control (MAC) protocol for ad-hoc networks, named collision-avoidance transmission scheduling (CATS) is introduced. CA...
In this paper we study the impact of the medium access control (MAC) layer and the routing layer on the performance of a multi-hop wireless network. At the medium access control la...
This paper presents a Self-Reorganizing Slot Allocation (SRSA) mechanism for TDMA based Medium Access Control (MAC) in multi-cluster sensor networks. The aim is to provide a MAC l...
— Multi-frequency media access control has been well understood in general wireless ad hoc networks, while in wireless sensor networks, researchers still focus on single frequenc...
