—This paper presents a theoretical estimation for idle channel time in a multi-hop environment. Idle channel time is the time proportion of a node during which the channel state ...
— Pervasive and ubiquitous computing is enabling the implementation of “smart environments”, i.e., environments where applications support and enhance the abilities of their ...
— The fairness of IEEE 802.11 wireless networks (including Wireless LAN and Ad-hoc networks) is hard to predict and control because of the randomness and complexity of the MAC co...
—We examine the applicability of existing IP multicast mechanisms for Point-to-Point links such as wired and wireless telephone lines. We identify problems such as overhead due t...
— As evidenced by measurement data, channel fading and co-channel interference occur on the same time scales, and it is therefore difficult to determine if packet losses are due...
