—Providing quality-of-service (QoS) assurances in a mobile ad hoc network (MANET) is difficult due to node mobility, contention for channel access, a lack of centralised coordin...
— Medium access control (MAC) protocols have been studied under different contexts for several years now. In all these MAC protocols, nodes make independent decisions on when to ...
Adaptively adjusting transmission rate and power to concurrently enhance goodput and save energy is an important issue in the wireless local area network (WLAN). However, goodput ...
—IEEE 802.11 Distributed Coordination Function (DCF) uses a binary exponential backoff algorithm to arbitrate simultaneous channel access by multiple stations. When a station sen...
