—Unlike in a wired network, a packet transmitted by a node in an ad hoc wireless network can reach all neighbors. Therefore, the total number of transmissions (forward nodes) is ...
Ad hoc networks are characterized by dynamic topology caused by node mobility, multihop wireless connectivity and channel non-deterministic behavior (interference, multipath, hidd...

— An ad hoc network may be logically represented as a set of clusters. The clusterheads form a -hop dominating set. Each node is at most hops from a clusterhead. Clusterheads for...

Abstract--Two well-known problems that can cause performance degradations in IEEE 802.11 wireless networks are the exposednode (EN) and hidden-node (HN) problems. Although there ha...
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...
