Abstract--In wireless ad hoc networks, in addition to the well-known hidden terminal and exposed terminal problems, the locationdependent contention may cause serious unfairness an...
—Unlike in a wired network, a packet transmitted by a node in an ad hoc wireless network can reach all neighbors. Therefore, the total number of transmissions (forward nodes) is ...
—We propose a generic framework for distributed broadcasting in ad hoc wireless networks. The approach is based on selecting a small subset of nodes to form a forward node set to...
In this paper, we propose a new Medium Access Control (MAC) protocol for full exploitation of directional antennas in wireless networks. The protocol introduces a circular directio...
— Physical carrier sense for wireless multihop networks has attracted a certain degree of attention since it is a simple yet important mechanism for distributed channel access. S...
