This paper discusses the ideal shapes of control frames (i.e., RTS/CTS frames) in the IEEE 802.11 MAC layer for efficient power control and directional beam forming in mobile ad h...
IEEE 802.11 MAC, called the Distributed Coordination Function (DCF), employs carrier sensing to effectively avoid collisions, but this makes it difficult to maximally reuse the sp...
In Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANETs), each node has the capacity to act as a router. The performance of the MANET relies on how well the nodes perform this function. In simulations,...
— During an emergency response, access to a reliable communication infrastructure is required to exchange accurate information in a timely manner. Various communication technolog...
— Wireless spectrum is a scare resource, while media streaming usually requires high end-to-end bandwidth. Media streaming in wireless ad hoc networks is therefore a particularly...
