In this paper, we present a scalable fully distributed version of a Mobile Backbone Network Topology Synthesis Algorithm (MBN-TSA) for constructing and maintaining a dynamic backb...
—It is well known that IEEE 802.11 provides a physical layer multirate capability and, hence, MAC layer mechanisms are needed to exploit this capability. Several solutions have b...
Power heterogeneous ad hoc networks are characterized by link layer asymmetry: the ability of lower power nodes to receive transmissions from higher power nodes but not vice versa...
Recent theoretical results show that it is optimal to allow interfering sources to transmit simultaneously as long as they are outside a well-defined exclusion region around a de...
Multi-hop ad hoc wireless networks generally use the IEEE 802.11 Distributed Coordination Function (DCF) MAC protocol, which utilizes the request-to-send/clear-to-send (RTS/CTS) me...
