Aloha-type random-access protocols have been employed as access control protocols in wireline and wireless, stationary and mobile, multiple-access communications networks. They are...
Recently there have been considerable interests focusing on the performance evaluation of IEEE 802.11e Medium Access Control (MAC) protocols, which were proposed for supporting Qu...
Due to its fixed assignment nature, the well-known time division multiple access (TDMA) protocol suffers from poor performance when the offered traffic is bursty. In this paper, an...
