— Atmospheric turbulence induced fading is one of the main impairments affecting free–space optics (FSO). In recent years, Gamma–Gamma fading has become the dominant fading m...
Network resource management and control is a complex problem that requires robust, possibly intelligent, control methodologies to obtain satisfactory performance. While many Activ...
This paper studies the fairness with which competing flows share the channel in ad hoc networks using collision avoidance protocols. It is shown that the required multihop coordi...
—Wireless mesh networks are a promising area for the deployment of new wireless communication and networking technologies. In this paper, we address the problem of enabling effec...
