This paper discusses the ideal shapes of control frames (i.e., RTS/CTS frames) in the IEEE 802.11 MAC layer for efficient power control and directional beam forming in mobile ad h...
Location services are essential to many applications running on a hybrid of wirelessly-networked mobile actors and static sensors, such as surveillance systems and the Pursuer and...
Since wireless ad-hoc networks use shared communication medium, accesses to the medium must be coordinated to avoid packet collisions. Transmission scheduling algorithms allocate ...
The paper presents a detailed discussion of various issues involved in designing a medium access control (MAC) protocol for multihop wireless networks with nodes employing multiple...
Abstract— The Medium Access Control (MAC) scheme proposed by DAVIC/DVB, IEEE 802.14 and DOCSIS for the upstream channel of Hybrid Fiber Coaxial (HFC) access networks is based on ...
