Abstract— A distributed medium access control (MAC) algorithm for uplink OFDMA networks under the IEEE 802.16 framework is proposed and analyzed in this work. We present a simple...
IEEE 802.11, the standard of wireless local area networks (WLANs), allows the coexistence of asynchronous and time-bounded traffic using the distributed coordination function (DCF)...
—This paper investigates fundamental performance limits of medium access control (MAC) protocols for particular underwater multi-hop sensor networks under a fair-access criterion...

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 ...
The deployment of a wireless control system must cope with a number of effects usually negligible in a wired scenario. To this aim, an experimental analysis on suitable prototypes...
