—The mandatory access mode in IEEE 802.11 MAC is Distributed Coordination Function (DCF), which provides both basic access and RTS/CTS(request-to-send/clear-to-send) access. Prev...
In contention-based sensor networks, nodes compete to access a shared channel for data transmission and collision is a common challenge. For power conservation, periodical active/s...
Efficient communication in Bluetooth scatternets requires design of intra and inter-piconet scheduling algorithms, and therefore numerous algorithms have been proposed. However, du...
Network protocol performance and evaluation study is often carried out using a couple of widely used simulation toolkits, such as ns-2 and OPNET. These toolkits usually contain ma...
Abstract—This paper presents a protocol-independent approach to reveal a new insight into the performance of carrier sense multiple access with collision avoidance (CSMA/CA) prot...
