— This paper proposes a directional medium access control (DMAC) algorithm for wireless communication networks operating in the 60 GHz bands. Wireless communications using the 60...
— Cross-layer optimization (CLO) promises significant gains in comparison to a conventional system design, which does not allow for information exchange across layers. One of th...

— Unlike terrestrial networks that mainly rely on radio waves for communications, underwater networks utilize acoustic waves, which have comparatively lower loss and longer range...
Abstract— The inherent spread spectrum nature in ultrawideband (UWB) communications can support simultaneous transmissions. Two nearby transmissions do not collide, but rather ge...
A medium access control (MAC) protocol is proposed that is suitable for non-synchronized ad-hoc networks, and in particular for the energy-constrained underwater acoustic networks...
