The cognitive radio (CR) paradigm calls for open spectrum access according to a predetermined etiquette. Under this paradigm, CR nodes access the spectrum opportunistically by cont...
— This paper proposes a directional medium access control (DMAC) algorithm for wireless communication networks operating in the 60 GHz bands. Wireless communications using the 60...
— Both broadcast encryption (BE) protocols and multicast key distribution (MKD) protocols try to solve the same problem of private group communication. For the first time, we dis...
Carrier sense is often used to regulate concurrency in wireless medium access control (MAC) protocols, balancing interference protection and spatial reuse. Carrier sense is known ...
—Cooperative relaying has been shown to provide diversity gains which can significantly improve the Packet Error Rate (PER) in wireless transmissions. In ad hoc wireless routing...
