Many medium-access control (MAC) protocols for wireless networks proposed or implemented to date are based on collisionavoidance handshakes between sender and receiver. In the vas...
—The design of a collision avoidance system for trains implies the design of a MAC layer for their specific requirements. It should be efficient, reliable, use broadcast and su...

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...
—Unlike terrestrial wireless communication which uses radio waves, underwater communication relies on acoustic waves. The long latency and limited bandwidth pose great challenges...
