We present in this paper an analytical model that accounts for the positions of stations with respect to the Access Point (AP) while evaluating the performance of 802.11 MAC layer...

Power heterogeneous ad hoc networks are characterized by link layer asymmetry: the ability of lower power nodes to receive transmissions from higher power nodes but not vice versa...
— Lightweight protocols that are both bandwidth and power thrifty are desirable for sensor networks. In addition, for many sensor network applications, timeliness of data deliver...

Evaluating available bandwidth estimation methods requires a malleable MAC protocol implementation, precise MAC layer packet timing measurements, and the ability to create control...
— We focus in this paper on the cross-layer modeling of the integration of streaming and elastic flows in the downlink of UMTS/HSDPA systems. Streaming flows are transported ov...
—The design of multi-channel multi-hop wireless mesh networks is centered around the way nodes synchronize when they need to communicate. However, existing designs are confined ...
— In sensor networks, MAC protocols based on Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) with wakeup and sleep periods have attracted considerable interest because of their low power co...
In this study, we propose ARF-aware TCP that resolves the performance anomaly in 802.11 WLAN networks. Performance anomaly is a network symptom that fairness among the nodes is bro...
