— The medium-access control (MAC) protocols for wireless networks proposed or implemented to date based on collision-avoidance handshakes between sender and receiver either requi...
—Knowledge of a network’s topology and internal characteristics such as delay times or losses is crucial to maintain seamless operation of network services. Network tomography ...
— Many distributed multiple access (MAC) protocols use an exponential backoff mechanism. In that mechanism, a node picks a random backoff time uniformly in an interval that doubl...
— Group Communication services have become more and more important in mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs). The use of multicast transmission techniques in MANETs has been shown to ha...
