A large number of the MAC protocols proposed for establishing wireless sensor networks are based on the 802.11 standard. The trade-off in these protocols is the control packet ov...
Sensor networks typically comprise of a number of inexpensive small devices with processing, communication and sensing abilities that collaborate to perform a common task. Sensor d...
By providing the best-effort service, the Internet Protocol (IP) does not maintain the same order of packets sent out by a host. Therefore, due to the route change, parallelism in...
Abstract— Throughput performance of the IEEE 802.11 Distributed Coordination Function (DCF) is very sensitive to the number n of competing stations. The contribute of this paper ...
—Energy consumption is a critical parameter in wireless healthcare systems which consist of battery operated devices such as sensors and local aggregators. The system battery lif...
