Understanding the performance of backoff algorithms in multihop ad hoc networks is a key feature to design efficient Medium Access Protocols for wireless networks. The 802.11 bac...
Distributed Real-Time Embedded systems (DRE) increasingly rely on COTS middleware to meet their distribution needs. Yet, there is a technology gap between the design of COTS middl...
An experimental study of MANET using 802.11b has shown that there exist several configurations where this standard does not guarantee fairness for the channel access. In this pap...
