—In this paper, we present Black Burst Synchronization (BBS)1 , a novel protocol for decentralized network-wide tick synchronization in wireless ad hoc networks, located at MAC l...
The design and evaluation of Inter-Vehicle Communication (IVC) protocols rely much on the accurate and efficient computational simulations. For simulations of Medium Access Contro...
This paper gives an overview of the assessment and evaluation methods which have been used to determine the quality of the INSPIRE smart home system. The system allows different h...
—Physical Carrier Sensing plays a crucial role in the effectiveness of CSMA-based MAC protocols, yet its properties and impact on the system performance under slow fading channel...
Due to hidden terminals and a dynamic topology, contention among stations in an ad-hoc network is not homogeneous. Some stations are at a disadvantage in opportunity of access to ...
