This paper models an ad-hoc network as a continuum of nodes, ignoring edge effects, to find how the traffic scales with N, the number of nodes. We obtain expressions for the traffi...
: We study a slotted version of the Aloha Medium Access (MAC) protocol in a Mobile Ad-hoc Network (MANET). Our model features transmitters randomly located in the Euclidean plane, ...
Recent years have seen the growing popularity of multi-rate wireless network devices (e.g., 802.11a cards) that can exploit variations in channel conditions and improve overall ne...
