In this article, we present a simple yet accurate generic analytical model for a family of slotted carrier sense multiple access with collision avoidance (CSMA/CA) based medium ac...
RTS-CTS handshake based protocols achieve “reliable unicast” by eliminating the hidden node problem effectively, however, these solutions are not directly or efficiently gene...
In this paper, we proposed a MAC protocol, which can dynamically adjust Listening/Sleeping time rate of wireless sensor nodes according to data traffic load. In sensor networks, se...
—Distributed prioritized channel access mechanisms have been adopted by the IEEE 802.11e enhanced distributed channel access (EDCA) and the Multiband OFDM Alliance prioritized ch...
Recent studies on directional Media Access Control (MAC) protocols using smart antennas for wireless ad hoc networks have shown that directional MAC protocols outperform traditiona...
