—In this paper, we introduce a cross-layer design framework to the multiple access problem in contention-based wireless ad hoc networks. The motivation for this study is twofold,...
Mobile Ad-Hoc Networks (MANETS) are networks of mobile nodes that do not have a fixed infrastructure. Recent research in this field addresses ways of solving existing problems i...
—Power-saving is a critical issue for almost all kinds of portable devices. In this paper, we consider the design of power-saving protocols for mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) th...
Recently, several directional MAC protocols using smart antennas or directional antennas have been proposed for wireless ad hoc networks including our proposed MAC protocol called...
Reducing interference is one of the main challenges in wireless communication, and particularly in ad hoc networks. The amount of interference experienced by a node v corresponds ...
