The popular IEEE 802.11 WLAN today does not provide any quality-of-service (QoS) because of its contention-based channel access nature of the medium access control (MAC). Therefore...
Energy is the most crucial but scarce resource in wireless sensor networks (WSNs). A wealth of MAC protocols are proposed only to prolong the network lifetime for energy-efficienc...
The allocation of bandwidth to unlicensed users, without significantly increasing the interference on the existing licensed users, is a challenge for Ultra Wideband (UWB) networks....
In this paper, we proposed a MAC protocol, which can dynamically adjust Listening/Sleeping time rate of wireless sensor nodes according to data traffic load. In sensor networks, se...
We consider a point-to-point communication system in which data packets randomly arrive to a finite-length buffer and are subsequently transmitted to a receiver over a timevarying ...
