IEEE 802.11 MAC, called the Distributed Coordination Function (DCF), employs carrier sensing to effectively avoid collisions, but this makes it difficult to maximally reuse the sp...
Due to the application-specific nature of wireless sensor networks, application-aware algorithm and protocol design paradigms are highly required in order to optimize the overall ...
A distributed joint routing and spectrum sharing algorithm for video streaming applications over cognitive radio ad hoc networks is proposed in this article. The proposed cross-lay...

Abstract—Wireless sensor networks are evolving from singleapplication platforms towards an integrated infrastructure shared by multiple applications. Given the resource constrain...
We present the hybrid activation multiple access (HAMA) protocol for ad hoc networks. Unlike previous channel access scheduling protocols that activate either nodes or links only,...
