Wireless Local Area Networks (WLAN) are being deployed at a rapid pace and in different environments. As a result, the demand for supporting a diverse range of applications over w...
— In sensor networks, MAC protocols based on Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) with wakeup and sleep periods have attracted considerable interest because of their low power co...
– In this paper, we present a new collision-free MAC protocol–Carrier Sense Media Access with ID Countdown (CSMA/IC) for ad hoc wireless networks that can achieve 100% collisio...
Abstract— Unlike the terrestrial wireless networks that utilize the radio channel, underwater networks use the acoustic channel, which poses research challenges in the medium acc...
— Unlike terrestrial networks that mainly rely on radio waves for communications, underwater networks utilize acoustic waves, which have comparatively lower loss and longer range...
