Abstract--Previous simulations have shown substantial performance gains can be achieved by using hybrid cellular and wireless LAN (WLAN) approaches [1]. In a hybrid system, a proxy...
—In this paper, the performance of the ALOHA and CSMA MAC protocols are analyzed in spatially distributed wireless networks. The main system objective is correct reception of pac...
—In this paper, we present Black Burst Synchronization (BBS)1 , a novel protocol for decentralized network-wide tick synchronization in wireless ad hoc networks, located at MAC l...
- Recently, several MAC protocols using directional antennas, typically referred to as directional MAC protocols, have been proposed for wireless ad hoc networks. However, the MAC ...
Network wide broadcasting in Mobile Ad Hoc Networks provides important control and route establishment functionality for a number of unicast and multicast protocols. Considering i...
