The popular IEEE 802.11 WLAN today does not provide any quality-of-service (QoS) because of its contention-based channel access nature of the medium access control (MAC). Therefore...
— We investigate the spatial distribution of wireless nodes that can transport a given volume of traffic in a sensor network, while requiring the minimum number of wireless node...
IEEE 802.11 MAC, called the Distributed Coordination Function (DCF), employs carrier sensing to effectively avoid collisions, but this makes it difficult to maximally reuse the sp...
: Designed for high rate Wireless Personal Area Networks (WPANs), the IEEE 802.15.3 Medium Access Control (MAC) protocol supports peer-to-peer communications in a piconet. In this ...
In the area of wireless mobile communication, minimizing energy consumption as well as maximizing data throughput in medium access control (MAC) layer is a very important research ...
