We study the multicast problem in wireless sensor networks, where the source can send data to a fixed number of destinations (actuators) at a different rate (multiratecast). A typi...
There is a vast literature on the throughput analysis of the IEEE 802.11 media access control (MAC) protocol. However, very little has been done on investigating the interplay betw...
—The need to monitor groups of mobile entities arises in many application contexts. Examples include the study of the social behavior of humans and wildlife, the shepherding of l...
— Directional antennas are a promising option for use in ad-hoc networks for a variety of reasons, such as increased spatial reuse, reduced interference and enabling more effici...
: IEEE 802.11 is a wireless network standard that was completed in 1997. Unfortunately, the medium access protocol described in the standard meets some problems that arise from the...
