—In cognitive wireless networks where secondary users (SUs) opportunistically access spectral white spaces of primary users (PUs), there exists an inherent tradeoff between sensi...
It has been shown in the literature that many MAC protocols for wireless networks have a considerable control overhead, which limits their achievable throughput and delay performan...

The IEEE 802.11 Medium Access Control (MAC) protocol has inherent weakness of channel wastage while operating a Mobile Ad hoc Network (MANET). In this paper, we therefore propose s...
