The IEEE 802.11x MAC protocol, the de facto standard for wireless LANs, includes a distributed coordination function (DCF) mode usable for ad hoc network architectures. The Transm...
We consider a wireless collision channel, shared by a finite number of mobile users who transmit to a common base station using a random access protocol. Mobiles are selfoptimizin...
Abstract—We study the joint power control and minimumframe-length scheduling problem in wireless networks, under the physical interference model and subject to consecutive transm...
We propose the cross-layer based opportunistic multi-channel medium access control (MAC) protocols, which integrate the spectrum sensing at physical (PHY) layer with the packet sch...
Interferences in an ad-hoc network can be defined as a set of constraints that specify which groups of nodes cannot transmit simultaneously, and they have significant implications...
