The increasing number of independent IEEE 802.11 WLANs owned and managed by autonomous users has led to increased interference, resulting in performance degradation and unfairness...
Abstract— In WiFi networks, mobile nodes compete for accessing a shared channel by means of a random access protocol called Distributed Coordination Function (DCF). Although this...
We consider wireless LANs such as IEEE 802.11 operating in the unlicensed radio spectrum. While their nominal bit rates have increased considerably, the MAC layer remains practica...
