— This paper presents the ALCA (Asymmetric Link Collision Avoidance) protocol. ALCA was designed to deal with a known deficiency of the Basic Scheme [1] for power control in 802...
—In this paper, we present a model to analyze the performance of three transmission strategies with smart antennas, i.e. directional antennas with adjustable transmission power. ...
Abstract--In this paper, we investigate the problem of optimizing the lifetime of a mobile ad hoc network at a given degree k of connectivity by minimizing power consumption. Our p...
— We propose a spreading code medium access control (MAC) protocol with each node equipped with single transceiver for wireless ad hoc networks, based on the code division multip...
— Transmission power control (TPC) has been used in wireless ad hoc networks to improve channel reuse and/or reduce energy consumption. It has been mainly applied to single-input...
