In multi-hop wireless networks, every node is expected to forward packets for the benefit of other nodes. Yet, if each node is its own authority, then it may selfishly deny packe...
The IEEE 802.11 MAC family of standards has been designed for communication in traditional wireless LANs. The enhancement of the IEEE 802.11 family of standards is mainly seen in t...

In wireless sensor networks energy is a valuable but not necessary scarce resource. While it is often assumed that nodes in sensor networks are powered by batteries, other energy s...
Abstract. Providing energy efficiency in MAC (Medium Access Control) layer, while achieving desirable throughput, is an important research issue in the area of wireless networking....
Many network level services such as routing, auto-addressing and, security have been proposed for ad hoc networks. Each has characteristics that may cause it to outperform similar ...
