—This paper studies the maximum throughput that can be supported by a given wireless mesh backhaul network, over a practical CSMA/CA medium access control (MAC) protocol. We reso...
—Unlike terrestrial wireless communication which uses radio waves, underwater communication relies on acoustic waves. The long latency and limited bandwidth pose great challenges...
Running real time applications over wireless LANs is becoming common place. These applications require QoS. But the most widely used wireless LAN, IEEE 802.11, does not have QoS s...
