—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...
— The recent researches in wireless networks prompt the opportunistic transmission that exploiting channel fluctuations to improve the overall system performance. In wireless ad...
— Energy consumption is a main issue of concern in wireless networks. Energy minimization increases the time that networks’ nodes work properly without recharging or substituti...
—Throughput optimization in wireless networks with multiple channels and multiple radio interfaces per node is a challenging problem. For general traffic models (given a set of ...
— A vast amount of broadcasting protocols has been developed for wireless ad hoc networks. To the best of our knowledge, however, these protocols assume a single-radio singlechan...
