In this paper, we consider the problem of throughput maximization in an infrastructure based WLAN. We demonstrate that most of the proposed protocols though perform optimally for ...
The floor acquisition multiple access (FAMA) discipline is analyzed in networks with hidden terminals. According to FAMA, control of the channel (the floor) is assigned to at mo...
The hidden terminal problem is unique to wireless networks and as of now, there is very limited understanding about it's effects on network performance. Results are presented...
IEEE 802.11 Medium Access Control (MAC) called Distributed Coordination Function (DCF) provides two different access modes, namely, 2-way (basic access) and 4-way (RTS/CTS) hands...
—The mandatory access mode in IEEE 802.11 MAC is Distributed Coordination Function (DCF), which provides both basic access and RTS/CTS(request-to-send/clear-to-send) access. Prev...
— Traditional Physical Carrier Sensing (PCS), which aims at eliminating hidden terminals in wireless networks, causes too many exposed terminals and deteriorates the throughput p...
