— In distributed wireless access networks, the short-term unfairness of IEEE 802.11 Distributed Coordination Function (DCF) has been revealed by many works. In this paper, a modi...
In this paper, we first propose an analytical model of WLANs (Wireless LANs) with an arbitrary backoff distribution and AIFS (Arbitration Inter-Frame Space). From the analysis, we ...
In contention-based sensor networks, nodes compete to access a shared channel for data transmission and collision is a common challenge. For power conservation, periodical active/s...
The IEEE 802.11 standard for medium access control in wireless local area networks has been adopted as the de-facto medium access control standard in multi-hop wireless networks. I...
Due to hidden terminals and a dynamic topology, contention among stations in an ad-hoc network is not homogeneous. Some stations are at a disadvantage in opportunity of access to ...
