Abstract. Providing energy efficiency in MAC (Medium Access Control) layer, while achieving desirable throughput, is an important research issue in the area of wireless networking....
—Ultra-wideband (UWB) is a physical (PHY) layer technology that promises high transmission rates, as well as high resistance to noise and multipath effects. However, the impulseb...
— In this paper, we propose a contention based uplink Medium Access Control (MAC) protocol design for Wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs) with Spatial Division Multiple Access (...
IEEE 802.11 Distributed Coordination Function (DCF) guarantees fair transmission opportunity to stations. Channel occupation of low rate stations in IEEE 802.11 Wireless Local Area...
—We address the problem of collaborative sensing in cognitive radios. In a cognitive radio network, all the nodes may sense the spectrum simultaneously. They should then exchange...
