Cognitive radio gives users the ability to switch channels and make use of dynamic spectral opportunities. However, switching channels takes time, and may disrupt the quality of a...
—IEEE 802.11 Distributed Coordination Function (DCF) uses a binary exponential backoff algorithm to arbitrate simultaneous channel access by multiple stations. When a station sen...
: This paper proposes a technology for realizing a mobile network based on color signals which does not require the time and the space switching matrix for call routing. In absence...
IEEE 802.15.4 is a new standard uniquely designed for low-rate wireless personal area networks. It targets ultralow complexity, cost, and power for low-rate wireless connectivity a...
