With the standardization of IEEE 802.11, there has been an explosive growth of wireless local area networks (WLAN). Recently, this cost effective technology is being developed aggr...
— The fairness of IEEE 802.11 wireless networks (including Wireless LAN and Ad-hoc networks) is hard to predict and control because of the randomness and complexity of the MAC co...
IEEE 802.11 power-save mode (PSM) has been proposed in wireless LANs and multi-hop wireless networks to coordinate power states of wireless devices. In IEEE 802.11 PSM, power manag...
Transmitting voice through IP data network can provide significant cost savings. However if not managed properly, voice quality can degrade due to data network congestion. Voice o...
With the advance of wireless local area network (WLAN) technology, handoff support has become one of the most important issues in IEEE 802.11 WLANs. However, the current IEEE 802....
This paper presents a novel analytical model and an efficient admission control algorithm for IEEE 802.11 DCF access mechanism. In contrast to the previous approaches that only ana...
Initially designed for WLAN's, IEEE 802.11 medium access control (MAC) has also been widely used in the research of multihop wireless networks. The core MAC technique of IEEE ...
