—Using directional antennas to conserve bandwidth and energy consumption in ad hoc wireless networks has attracted much attention of the research community in recent years. Howev...
—In this paper, we propose a novel protocol called VC-MAC that utilizes the concept of cooperative communication tailored for vehicular networks, especially for gateway downloadi...
We propose a broadcast protocol that is based on a form of cooperative diversity called the Opportunistic Large Array (OLA). In the initial broadcast, an SNR ("transmission&qu...
In this paper, we investigate the use of power line communication (PLC) to assist cooperative wireless relaying. We consider a communication scheme that uses the power line to init...
