—MAC layer random network coding (MRNC) was proposed in [1] as an alternative to HARQ for reliable data transmission in WiMAX unicast. It has been shown that MRNC achieves a high...
Recently, several directional MAC protocols using smart antennas or directional antennas have been proposed for wireless ad hoc networks including our proposed MAC protocol called...
Traditional cooperative communications can improve communication reliability. However, the simultaneous transmissions from multiple relays are challenging in practice due to the i...
Physical layer capture in WLANs makes a receiver to decode a relatively strong packet in a collision. According to recent works, an augmented physical layer capture handles interf...
—In recent years, cooperative communication has been proposed as a new communication paradigm that incorporates a relay node to assist the direct point-to-point transmission. By ...
