IEEE 802.11 MAC, called the Distributed Coordination Function (DCF), employs carrier sensing to effectively avoid collisions, but this makes it difficult to maximally reuse the sp...
Data access applications in Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANETs) suffer from intermittent network connections and restricted power supplies. While most of the researches focus on Media...
— FrameComm is a contention based, Duty Cycled, MAC protocol that ensures a message will be transmitted during the receiver’s listen phase by sending a packet, followed by a sh...
