—The communication model typically assumed in wireless ad-hoc networks is based on a traditional “pipelined relay” (PR) strategy. In PR, an end-to-end flow has multiple outs...
— In distributed wireless access networks, the short-term unfairness of IEEE 802.11 Distributed Coordination Function (DCF) has been revealed by many works. In this paper, a modi...
Under a multirate network scenario, the IEEE 802.11 DCF MAC fails to provide airtime fairness for all competing stations since the protocol is designed for ensuring max-min through...
In this paper we propose the one4all cooperative access strategy to introduce a more ef cient media access strategy for wireless networks. The one4all scheme is designed for the ...
