An M/MMGI/1/K queuing model is developed for the analysis of IEEE 802.11 DCF using RTS/CTS. Results are based on arbitrary contention conditions, namely, collision probabilities, ...
In this paper, we introduce a modified version of the IEEE 802.11a protocol and evaluate its performance. The new protocol is a combination of the standard Medium Access Control (...
Interferences in an ad-hoc network can be defined as a set of constraints that specify which groups of nodes cannot transmit simultaneously, and they have significant implications...
This paper studies the performance of a multi-rate mobile ad hoc network (MANET) using an extended ns-2 simulator. A link adaptation algorithm is developed and tested. The multi-r...
The nature of ad hoc networks makes it a challenge to offer connections with an assured quality. In order to improve the performance of the network, multipath routing in combinati...
A mobile ad hoc network consists of mobile nodes that can move freely in an open environment. Communicating nodes in a wireless and mobile ad hoc network usually seek the help of ...

Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANETs) provide rapidly deployable and self-configuring network capacity required in many critical applications, e.g., battlefields, disaster relief and ...
In this work, we develop an analytical framework to investigate the behavior of the communication links of a node in a random mobility environment. Analytical expressions characte...
This paper proposes a medium access control (MAC) protocol for ad hoc wireless networks that utilizes multiple channels dynamically to improve performance. The IEEE 802.11 standar...
