—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...
— We consider ad hoc wireless networks that use directional antennas and have limited energy resources. The performance objectives of such networks depend largely on the applicat...

Routing protocols for wireless ad hoc networks have traditionally focused on finding paths with minimum hop count. However, such paths can include slow or lossy links, leading to...
Conventional routing algorithms in mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs), i.e., multi-hop forwarding, assume the existence of contemporaneous source-destination paths and are not scalabl...
Abstract— We propose a scalable and reliable point-topoint routing algorithm for ad hoc wireless networks and sensornets. Our algorithm assigns to each node of the network a virt...
