Efficient Medium Access Control with IEEE 802.11 for Mobile Ad Hoc Networks
The IEEE 802.11 Medium Access Control (MAC) protocol has inherent weakness of channel wastage while operating a Mobile Ad hoc Network (MANET). In this paper, we therefore propose s...

On the Impact of Channel Estimation Errors on MAC Protocols for MIMO Ad Hoc Networks
In this paper, we evaluate the performance of a Medium Access Control (MAC) protocol for MIMO ad hoc networks under imperfect channel estimation. To this end, we also present an an...
