The wide availability of mobile devices equipped with wireless communication capabilities together with the technical possibility to form adhoc networks paves the way for building ...
This paper presents ARC (Adaptive Range Control), a communication range control mechanism using directional antennas to be implemented across multiple layers. ARC uses directional...
—Physical Carrier Sensing plays a crucial role in the effectiveness of CSMA-based MAC protocols, yet its properties and impact on the system performance under slow fading channel...
We present three localized techniques for broadcasting in large scale ad hoc networks, i.e., for the problem of disseminating a message from a source node to all the nodes in the ...
