The IEEE 802.11x MAC protocol, the de facto standard for wireless LANs, includes a distributed coordination function (DCF) mode usable for ad hoc network architectures. The Transm...
In this research, we first investigate the cross-layer interaction between TCP and routing protocols in the IEEE 802.11 ad hoc network. On-demand ad hoc routing protocols respond t...
— In 802.11 wireless links with disabled MAC retries, data and ACK packets within a TCP session collide resulting in packet losses. We show in this paper that in this situation, ...
— We present the unfairness problem between the uplink and the downlink flows in the IEEE 802.11e infrastructure Basic Service Set (BSS) when the default settings of the Enhance...
In this study we investigate the interaction between TCP and MAC layer in a wireless multi-hop network. Using simulation, we provide new insight into two critical problems of TCP ...
