Characterizing the interaction between routing and MAC protocols in ad-hoc networks
We empirically study the effect of mobility and interaction between various input parameters on the performance of protocols designed for wireless ad-hoc networks. An important ob...

Handling Asymmetry in Power Heterogeneous Ad Hoc Networks: A Cross Layer Approach
Power heterogeneous ad hoc networks are characterized by link layer asymmetry: the ability of lower power nodes to receive transmissions from higher power nodes but not vice versa...

LA-MAC: A Load Adaptive MAC Protocol for MANETs
—The performance of prevalent MAC protocols in MANETs relies on the level of contention in networks. While contention-based MAC protocols such as CSMA suffer from inefficiency u...

TCP Performance in Wireless Multi-hop Networks
In this study we investigate the interaction between TCP and MAC layer in a wireless multi-hop network. Using simulation, we provide new insight into two critical problems of TCP ...
