Understanding the performance of backoff algorithms in multihop ad hoc networks is a key feature to design efficient Medium Access Protocols for wireless networks. The 802.11 bac...
— Many distributed multiple access (MAC) protocols use an exponential backoff mechanism. In that mechanism, a node picks a random backoff time uniformly in an interval that doubl...
This paper presents an analytical model to compute the average service time and jitter experienced by a packet when transmitted in a saturated IEEE 802.11 ad hoc network. In contr...
—In this paper, we propose a physical (PHY) - medium access control (MAC) cross-layer protocol for ad hoc networks with antenna-array-equipped nodes that employ single-antenna tr...
Abstract. Ad hoc network is a peer-to-peer grid system. The combination of the Knowledge Grid and ad hoc network could have a great effect on the future interconnection environment...
