—The application of directional antennas in wireless networks brings numerous benefits, such as increased spatial reuse and mitigated interferences. Most MAC protocols with dire...
— Cooperative communications can help combat fading and hence can significantly increase the capacity of wireless networks. Although various schemes have been proposed to levera...
Token passing medium access control (MAC) protocols are gaining interest amongst wireless ad hoc network researchers as they provide unrivalled advantages over the existing IEEE 80...
One way to improve the throughput of a wireless ad hoc network at the media access (MAC) layer is to allow concurrent transmission among neighboring nodes as much as possible. In ...
– In this paper, we present a new collision-free MAC protocol–Carrier Sense Media Access with ID Countdown (CSMA/IC) for ad hoc wireless networks that can achieve 100% collisio...
