Abstract— We present a model for the joint design of congestion control and media access control (MAC) for ad hoc wireless networks. Using contention graph and contention matrix,...
Cognitive radios permit dynamic control of physical layer resources such as transmission power and constellation size; these degrees of freedom can be employed to achieve significa...

—In this paper, we propose a physical (PHY) - medium access control (MAC) cross-layer protocol for ad hoc networks with antenna-array-equipped nodes that employ single-antenna tr...
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....
Flexbility and deployment simplicity are among the numerous advantages of wireless links when compared to standard wired communications. However, challenges do remain high for wire...
