In this paper, we first propose an analytical model of WLANs (Wireless LANs) with an arbitrary backoff distribution and AIFS (Arbitration Inter-Frame Space). From the analysis, we ...
— We investigate the problem of efficient resource control for elastic traffic over the EDCA (Enhanced Distributed Channel Access) and HCCA (Hybrid Coordination Function HCF - ...
Abstract— In wireless sensor networks (WSNs), reducing energy consumption of resource constrained sensor nodes is one of the most important issues. In this paper, we propose a ta...
— A novel smart antenna is described, which is conceived as a low complexity inexpensive upgrade for IEEE 802.11b/g Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) systems. Using smart antenn...

— Generalized selection multiuser diversity (GSMuD) is a new scheduling scheme which provides a near-optimal low-complexity solution to parallel access multiuser scheduling. In t...
— We consider packet transmission scheduling at the MAC-layer via adaptive backoff algorithms that are favorable in terms of queue occupancies in a wireless network. General netw...
— We consider a relay that simultaneously assists multiple source-destination pairs that do not have a direct link, the so-called gateway channel, and explore the sum capacity of...
